What is matal nanocluster?

Metal nanoclusters are nanoscale aggregates of metal atoms, typically ranging from 1 to 10 nanometers in size. They exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio, which can differ significantly from bulk metal properties. These nanoclusters have applications in catalysis, sensing, and as components in electronic devices due to their ability to enhance reactivity and selectivity. Their properties can be tuned by controlling size, shape, and composition, making them a focus of Nanotechnology research.
