Single-atom catalysts (SACs) comprise individual metal atoms—such as palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt)—anchored on a high-surface-area solid support, which both isolates the metal and influences its ...

Designing a catalyst is incredibly difficult—yet researchers at Tohoku University have successfully created a catalyst that is ranked as one of the best. Their catalyst greatly speeds up the oxygen ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables ...

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 recent article in Nature Nanotechnology introduced a novel approach to enhance iridium catalyst performance by coordinating iridium single atoms (Ir 1) with cobalt–iron hydroxides (Co,Fe)-OH and ...

Anchoring single metal atoms on ultrathin supports improves catalyst efficiency and stability, making hydrogen production cleaner, more scalable, and less dependent on scarce metals. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves durability for green hydrogen production. (Nanowerk News) Producing green ...

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 ...
