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 ...

“When metal catalysts are downsized to the single-atom limit, new characteristics emerge, such as a sharp increase in quantum size effects, fully exposed active sites, and strong metal-support ...

A collaborative effort between researchers at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the University of California, Davis has resulted in the development of a novel methodology for ...

Researchers need new techniques to better understand single-atom catalysts, a promising class of these useful substances. More specifically, they are curious about how the catalyst's activity ...

Now, researchers have developed a way to speed up the discovery process for a promising new class of these helpful substances called single atom catalysts. Catalysts do several surprising things ...

Bao Jun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) revealed that the cobalt-based, oxide-supported, high-density Ir single-atom catalyst exhibits excellent performance in ...

SLAC and University of California, Davis, researchers have developed software to determine more quantitative information about the active site of a single atom catalyst. MS-QuantEXAFS calculates ...

Their findings underscored the superior activity and selectivity of tin-based catalysts, such as Sn−N 4 −C single-atom catalysts (SAC) and polyatomic Sn, for HCOOH production. These catalysts ...
