Abstract

This chapter looks into the influence of the functionalization of the surface of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) with ligands on their catalytic performance in two crucial reactions, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR). The birth of the surface functionalization of MNPs with ligands was greatly inspired by the advanced knowledge accumulated on molecular metal catalysts, whose physical and chemical properties can be tuned by coordinating appropriate ligands to the metal active center. This field of research has profited from the progress in the synthetic methods for the generation of MNPs and the evolution of the spectroscopic and analytical techniques for their exhaustive characterization, as well as the improvement of the computational techniques. Relevant examples will illustrate how the functionalization of the surface of MNPs allow to modulate the energy profile of catalytic intermediate species through electronic effects and regulate the product selectivity through hydrophobic/hydrophilic effects. Another key parameter is the tuning of the number of surface-active sites as a function of the metal to ligand ratio and the chemical nature of the coordinating ligand. Furthermore, in some peculiar cases, second coordination sphere effects have even been described in analogy to biological enzymes.
