Abstract

Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) with fascinating physicochemical characteristics different from their nanoparticles (NPs) counterparts, have gained increasing attention in diverse fields of applications. The foremost outcome of such NC-based applications is leading to transform them into devic...
