Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have drawn the attention of material scientists due to their high
atomic-scale utilization efficiency and excellent thermal catalytic activity and selectivity …

Single-atom catalysts are often reported to have catalytic properties that surpass those of
nanoparticles, while a direct comparison of sites common and different for both is lacking …

The analogy between single‐atom catalysts (SACs) and molecular catalysts predicts that the
specific catalytic activity of these systems is constant. We provide evidence that this …

H2 activation is fundamental in catalysis. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) can be highly
selective hydrogenation catalysts due to their tunable geometric and electronic properties. In …

The selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene is a critical step in the synthesis of
polyethylenes. Achieving high conversion to ethylene without over-hydrogenation to ethane …

Ethanol is an important C2 platform molecule for producing value-added chemicals and
distillate hydrocarbon fuels (eg, jet and diesel). Among these, catalytic upgrading of ethanol …

Selective hydrogenation of the nitroaromatics containing other reducible functional groups is
very important, but the mechanism still remains controversial. Inspired by recent work on the …

Magnetic iron oxide particles decorated with transition-metal nanoparticles have become
increasingly attractive in catalysis regarding the environment modifications, such as an …

Metal oxides are among the most earth abundant resources on the planet. For example, by
mass, Fe is the most earth abundant element, Ni is the sixth most abundant, and Al is the …

In recent years, enormous efforts have been devoted to improving the atom efficiency of
metal catalysts by decreasing the size of metal particles to the limit of isolated atoms in …
