This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the electrocatalytic applications of coinage metal NCs protected by thiolate, phosphine, amine, and alkynyl ligands. In addition to the size dependence, key effects\u2014ligand types, morphology, core doping, and surface modification\u2014on the CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    reduction reaction (CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    RR) are discussed first. Then, cases of non\u2013alkynyl\u2010protected NCs with exceptional CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    RR activities are illustrated to show how atomic packing, ligand engineering, lattice hydride, and alloying can be used to design high\u2010performance NC catalysts. Cu\u2010based NCs are highlighted since value\u2010added multicarbon products can be created in CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    RR. The review then discusses how alkynyl protection introduces unique metal\u2013ligand interfacial structures via \u03c3\u2013\u03c0 anchoring, leading to reduced ligand coverage and increased exposure of active sites of metal. Recent progress in alkynyl\u2010protected NCs has expanded the accessible structural library, enabling efficient electrocatalysis for CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    RR, nitrate reduction (NO\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    RR), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The synergistic effects of bimetallic compositions, ligand functionalization, and nanocluster architectures are examined in detail, illustrating how subtle changes in surface chemistry translate into dramatic improvements in catalytic performance. Through comparisons between non\u2013alkynyl\u2010 and alkynyl\u2010protected NCs, this review underscores the central role of surface chemistry in tailoring electrocatalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. Finally, future directions are outlined, emphasizing the importance of combining atomic\u2010level structural precision with rational ligand engineering and heteroatom doping to design next\u2010generation electrocatalysts.\n
