Noble metal nanoclusters and nanocrystals become the hot spot because of their applications in catalysis area. Jiatao Zhang etc. from Beijing Institute of Technology developed a versatile aqueous method to prepare Au, Ag, Cu nanoclusters on TiO2 nanosheets support. Then based on in-situ calcination, the Au, Ag, Cu nanocrystals on TiO2 support have been prepared too. These noble metal nanoclusters and nanocrystals have demonstrated potential applications in catalytic organic synthesis and photocatalysis.
