The ClusCAT research group focuses on the development of atomically precise nanocatalysts based on metal nanoclusters. The versatility and tunability of the clusters allows us to create highly efficient catalytically active sites leading to fully homogeneous and structurally resolved surfaces. Through comprehensive structural analyses and operando spectroscopy (IR, XAFS), we aim above all to gain valuable insights into the mechanisms of chemical reactions and ultimately to establish a link between the structure of metal clusters and their catalytic performance.
