Cluster-Cation Pairs Mediated Assembly of Subnanometer Polyoxometalates Superstructures

nanosheet behaves with a high Faradaic efficiency of 90.2% and selectivity of 87.3% for glycolic acid in the electrocatalytic ethylene glycol oxidation reaction, which is much higher than that of isolated cluster components. This work connects the cluster topologies and cluster-cation pairs to the superstructures of cluster assemblies, providing general guidelines for the supramolecular self-assembly of POM clusters.
