Single-Atom Catalysts: Synthetic Strategies and Electrochemical Applications
Open accessAbstract
The performance and the cost of electrocatalysts play the two most vital roles in the development and application of energy conversion technologies. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are recently emerging as a new frontier in catalysis science. With maximum atom-utilization efficiency and unique properties, SACs exhibit great potential for enabling reasonable use of metal resources and achieving atomic economy. However, fabricating SACs and maintaining the metal centers as atomically dispersed sites under synthesis and catalysis conditions are challenging. Here, we highlight and summarize recent advances in wet-chemistry synthetic methods for SACs with special emphasis on how to achieve the stabilization of single metal atoms against migration and agglomeration. Moreover, we summarize and discuss the electrochemical applications of SACs with a focus on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). At last, the current issues and the prospects for the development of this field are discussed.

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.
