Abstract
Provided herein are hydrophobically-modified metal nanoparticle cathode catalysts for electrochemical reactions. The hydrophobic modifications may be incorporated onto the nanoparticles by either directly binding ligands or ionomers to the nanoparticles, or by indirectly binding an ionomer to the nanoparticle through a linker. The hydrophobically-modified metal nanoparticles may be hydrophobic ally-modified gold nanoparticles.
