Defect‐Based Single‐Atom Electrocatalysts

Zhang, Yiqiong, Guo, Lan, Tao, Li, Lu, Yanbing, Wang, Shuangyin·2019·Small Methods

Abstract

Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted great attention owing to their maximum atomic utilization and high catalytic performance in electrochemical reactions. But the synthesis of SACs is not easy due to large surface energies of single atomic metal sites which often lead to their aggregation. The defects on supports can serve as anchor sites to stabilize single metal atoms and prevent them from aggregation, which has become an effective method to fabricate SACs. This review summarizes the meaningful findings about the defects on supports stabilizing single metal atoms, and their applications in electrocatalytic reaction. Various defects, including the intrinsic defects or heteroatom doping of carbon‐based materials, cation or anion vacancies of metal compound supports, and other defects (step edges, lattice defects, and caves), are comprehensively summarized, and the effects of defects on designing SACs are discussed. Although there are still many challenges to fully explore the SACs, it is believed that the newly established defect sites stabilized single atoms mechanism will be helpful for designing and fabricating highly powerful single atomic electrocatalysts for practical applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
