Recently, the missing link between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis has been
found and it was named single-atom catalysis (SAC). However, the SAC field still faces …

The synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and its applications in heterogeneous catalysis are
abridged in view of its demonstrated prowess and utility in chemical, material and industrial …

With the downsizing of metal sizes (nanoparticles, nanoclusters, and single atoms), the
catalytic behaviors of supported metal species change significantly for various chemical …

Versatile bio-derived catalysts have been under dynamic investigation as potential
