Two-dimensional materials and single-atom catalysts are two frontier research fields in
catalysis. A new category of catalysts with the integration of both aspects has been rapidly …

Monolayer graphene exhibits extraordinary properties owing to the unique, regular
arrangement of atoms in it. However, graphene is usually modified for specific applications …

Single-atom catalysis is a powerful and attractive technique with exceptional performance,
drastic cost reduction and notable catalytic activity and selectivity. In single-atom catalysis …

Single atoms of select transition metals supported on carbon substrates have emerged as a
unique system for electrocatalysis because of maximal atom utilization (≈ 100%) and high …

The exploration of two-dimensional solids is an active area of materials discovery. Research
in this area has given us structures spanning graphene to dichalcogenides, and more …

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

Structural design on the atomic level can provide novel chemistries of hybrid MAX phases
and their MXenes. Herein, density functional theory is used to predict phase stability of …

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer monolayer 2D systems with diverse
properties that extend beyond what graphene alone can achieve. The properties of TMDs …

By combining high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments and first-
principles calculations, we study production, diffusion, and agglomeration of sulfur …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been the subject of interdisciplinary research
in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology. Notably, PAHs have drawn …
