Single-atom catalysis—using isolated metal atoms dispersed on a solid as a catalyst—has grown into a field of research dedicated to the development of efficient chemical, thermo-, electro- and ...

Researchers from National University of Singapore and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, CAS, published a perspective assessing the recent advances using structurally well-defined single-atom ...

Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research, offering a blend of high efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Single-atom catalysts are defined by their structure where ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...

An open and undercoordinated environment enables enhanced binding of gas molecules, illustrating the potential for boosted reactivity in catalytic applications. Catalysts play a vital role in modern ...

Catalysts do several surprising things to assist with daily life -- from bread making to turning raw materials into fuels more efficiently. Now, researchers have developed a way to speed up the ...

Single-atom catalysts promise cleaner chemistry. Squeezing the maximum value from every atom, cutting waste, and reshaping how industries tackle energy, emissions, and sustainable production. Artistic ...
