Catalytic activity of metal clusters on surfaces
![Figure shows the HR-TEM image of the Au9 cluster deposited on a titania nanosheet. Scale bar is 0.5 nm](/sites/default/files/styles/ua_landscape/public/media/images/2019-05/metha-au9.png?h=e7b6955a&itok=wVbti4dw)
Honours project: Develop techniques to determine the geometric and electronic structure of size-specific clusters (e.g. Au9) deposited onto semiconductors surfaces (e.g. TiO2) and test their performance for photocatalytic water-spitting (H2 production) and CO2 reduction (hydrocarbon formation).
