Untangling the Role of the Capping Agent in Nanocatalysis: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Capping agents (organic ligands, polymers, surfactants, etc.) are a basic component in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles with controlled size and well-defined shape. However, their influence on the performances of nanoparticle-based catalysts is multifaceted and controversial. Indeed, capping age...
