he meaning of underpotential shift is discussed for free nanoparticles, where a redox couple is used to set potential control on them. Atomistic Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study their decoration in the submonolayer regime. The resulting configurations are used to simulate their plasmon spectra by means of a state-of-the art quantum mechanical atomistic model.
