Our synchrotron x-ray PDF study on chiral multilayer copper sulfide nanoclusters was published in JACS

On June 29, 2026, our paper was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, titled “Single-Atom Migration into a Chiral Multilayer Nanocluster Architecture”.

Using synchrotron x-ray pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, we traced the local structural evolution during Ag⁺ migration from the surface of a chiral multilayer copper sulfide nanocluster to its center. The PDF results reveal that the Cu−S framework remains stable during migration, while Ag···Cu correlations gradually emerge, indicating a stepwise single-atom migration pathway at the atomic scale.

This work provides local structural evidence for how a rigid inorganic nanocluster framework can maintain structural stability while allowing single cation migration. The article is available at pdf.

我们关于手性多层铜硫纳米团簇的同步辐射X射线PDF研究发表于JACS期刊

======

2026年6月29日，我们的文章发表于化学领域顶尖期刊《美国化学会志》（JACS），文章题目为“手性多层纳米团簇结构中的单原子迁移”。

通过同步辐射X射线原子对分布函数PDF分析，我们在原子尺度上追踪了Ag⁺从手性多层铜硫纳米团簇表面逐步迁移至团簇中心的局域结构演变。PDF结果表明，在迁移过程中Cu−S骨架保持稳定，而Ag···Cu相关逐渐出现，揭示了Ag⁺逐层向内迁移的单原子迁移路径。

该工作为理解刚性无机纳米团簇如何在保持整体结构稳定的同时实现阳离子迁移提供了局域结构证据。全文见pdf。
