A ligand-desorption process during calcination was followed for metal-oxide-supported 2-phenylethanethiolate-protected gold 25-atom metal nanoclusters (NCs) using five experimental techniques by Yuichi Negishi and co-workers in their Research Article on page 21340. Based on the obtained knowledge, a method to form a metal-oxide layer on the surface of Au NCs while preventing their aggregation was established, and thereby a water-splitting photocatalyst with high activity and stability was created.
