Abstract:Ultrasmall metal nanoclusters (NCs) have attracted increasing attention due to their unique characteristics, such as ultrasmall size, fascinating physical and chemical properties, and good biocompatibility, which are desirable for biological and other applications. In recent years, multiple types of NCs have been developed, such as gold NCs, silver NCs, platinum NCs, and copper NCs. These NCs not only play important roles in making chemicals and materials, but some NCs are also used in medical research, showin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
