Key Points

The study investigates the impact of singlet oxygen on the efficiency and stability of ligand-protected gold nanoclusters in photocatalytic processes.
Analyzed the photocatalytic performance of gold nanoclusters under various oxidative conditions.
Evaluated the role of singlet oxygen in oxidative turnover.
Applied ligands to determine their effect on stability and efficiency of Au clusters.
Quenching of singlet oxygen significantly improved the photocatalytic efficiency of Au clusters.
Ligand protection was found to enhance the stability of gold nanoclusters during oxidative processes.

Implication

Quenching singlet oxygen enhances efficiency and stability of gold clusters in photocatalytic applications, suggesting improved performance.

Abstract

Atomically precise gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) exhibit immense potential in photo-catalysis, yet their application is often hampered by low efficiency and stability under oxidative turnover. Here, we posit that this...
