Abstract

This minireview highlights some recent advances in the rational design of precise Cu nanoclusters supported on microporous materials, including zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. The development of comprehensive characterisation techniques enables scientists to elucidate the structure-activity relationship of these catalysts, which aids the subsequent engineering of more superior catalytic systems at an atomistic perspective.

Keywords: Catalysis; Cu Nanoclusters; Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs); Zeolites.
