Stabilizing ultrasmall Au clusters for enhanced photoredox catalysis

The improvement of photostability of Au clusters on metal-support interface remains challenging. Here, the authors report a joint strategy via interfacial modification and composition manipulation to enhance the photostability and activity of glutathione-protected Au clusters.
