Single-atom catalysis—using isolated metal atoms dispersed on a solid as a catalyst—has grown into a field of research dedicated to the development of efficient chemical, thermo-, electro- and ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed an “anchoring-borrowing” strategy, combined with facet engineering, to develop a new class of artful single-atom catalysts (ASACs). These ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

This paper reviews the structure and principle of semiconductor-based gas sensors, the synthesis methods of single atom catalysts, the mechanisms by which single atom catalysts enhance gas sensitivity ...

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 ...

The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on ...

A research team at the Politecnico di Milano has developed an innovative single-atom catalyst capable of selectively adapting its chemical activity. This is a crucial step forward in sustainable ...

A team in Milan has developed a first-of-its-kind single-atom catalyst that acts like a molecular switch, enabling cleaner, more adaptable chemical reactions. Stable, recyclable, and eco-friendly, it ...

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 ...

Conventional thinking holds that the metal site in single atom catalysts (SACs) has been a limiting factor to the continued improvement of the design and, therefore, the continued improvement of the ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...
