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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly hydrogenation (adding ...

The review provides an in-depth analysis of noble metal-free catalysts, focusing on three primary categories: transition metal compounds, single-atom catalysts, and entirely metal-free options.
