A large family of heterogeneous catalytic reactions require active sites with more than one
metal atom, that is, an ensemble of metal atoms. The ensemble requirement, which refers to …

A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided,
with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous …

Isolated atoms featuring unique reactivity are at the heart of enzymatic and homogeneous
catalysts. In contrast, although the concept has long existed, single-atom heterogeneous …

Metal atoms dispersed on the oxide supports constitute a large category of single-atom
catalysts. In this review, oxide supported single-atom catalysts are discussed about their …

The electronic metal–support interaction (EMSI), which acts as a bridge between theoretical
electronic study and the design of heterogenous catalysts, has attracted much attention …

The complexity of heterogeneous catalysts means that a priori design of new catalytic
materials is difficult, but the well-defined nature of single-atom–alloy catalysts has made it …

Single-atom alloys (SAAs) play an increasingly significant role in the field of single-site
catalysis and are typically composed of catalytically active elements atomically dispersed in …

Precise control over the size, shape, composition, structure, and crystal phase of random
alloy and intermetallic nanocrystals has been intensively explored in technologically …

Monometallic catalysts, in particular those containing noble metals, are frequently used in
heterogeneous catalysis, but they are expensive, rare and the ability to tailor their structures …

The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical
as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive …
