An open question in the field of nanocatalysis is how the size of nanoparticles tunes the catalysis. Here, we have investigated the kinetics of electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reactivity (ORR) of thiolate-protected gold nanomolecules (AuNMs) of sizes ranging from 1 to 2.2 nm in diameter consisting...
