Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

This review provides an overview and an update on how single-atom catalysis can be
achieved at a strictly molecular level by performing well-designed gas-phase experiments …

Transition metal oxides have been extensively used in the literature for the conversion of
methane to methanol. Despite the progress made over the past decades, no method with …

This article summarizes the methodological progress that has been made in the vibrational
spectroscopy of isolated polynuclear metal oxide clusters, with particular emphasis on free …

Employing first principles calculations, we show a two-step reaction mechanism for direct
methane oxidation to methanol over a single atom Co-embedded graphene (Gr) catalyst …

Inspired by the excellent performance of NiO+ in converting CH4 to CH3OH in the gas
phase and the efficiency of single-atom catalysts, we constructed a Ni–O active site on …

The cleavage of inert C–H bonds in methane at room temperature and the subsequent
conversion into value-added products are quite challenging. Herein, the reactivity of boron …

La atom reactions with 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutene are carried out in a laser-
vaporization molecular beam source. The three reactions yield the same La-hydrocarbon …

V5O12CH4+ and V5O13CH4+ clusters are generated from interactions of pregenerated
V5O12+ and V5O13+ with CH4 in a fast flow reactor, respectively. The two adsorption …

La atom reactions with 1-butyne and 2-butyne are carried out in a laser-vaporization
molecular beam source. Both reactions yield the same La-hydrocarbon products from the …
