Bare clusters of five Cu atoms, synthesized electrochemically, display remarkable oxidation stability on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. They exhibit reversible O2 adsorption, transitioning between various Cu oxidation states with changes in temperature and O2 pressure. In‐situ XPS and XANES spectroscopy experiments, along with theoretical characterizations of Cu5–(O2)n complexes, provide direct...
Sub‐nanometer metal clusters have special physical and chemical properties, significantly different from those of nanoparticles. However, there is a major concern about their thermal stability and susceptibility to oxidation. In situ X‐ray Absorption spectroscopy and Near Ambient Pressure X‐ray Photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal that supported Cu5 clusters are resistant to irreversible oxidation...
