The Journal of the American Chemical Society recently published “Ligand-Free Noble Metal Nanocluster Catalysts on Carbon Supports via ‘Soft’ Nitriding.” Within the publication, collaborators from the Suib, Rusling, and He Groups report “a robust, universal ‘soft’ nitriding method to grow in situ ligand-free ultrasmall noble metal nanocatalysts (UNMN; e.g., Au, Pd, and Pt) onto carbon.”
