Understanding the role of supported Rh atoms and clusters during hydroformylation and CO hydrogenation reactions with in situ/ operando XAS and DRIFT spectroscopy. Chem Sci 2024; 15:12369-12379. [PMID: 39118611 PMCID: PMC11304778 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc02907k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Supported Rh single-atoms and clusters on CeO2, MgO, and ZrO2 were investigated as catalysts for hydroformylation of ethylene to propionaldehyde and CO hydrogenation to methanol/ethanol with in situ/operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Under hydroformylation reaction conditions, operando spectroscopic investigations unravel the presence of both single atoms and clusters and detected at first propanal and then methanol. We find that the formation of methanol is associated with CO hydrogenation over Rh clusters which was further confirmed under CO hydrogenation conditions at elevated pressure. The activity of catalysts synthesized via a precipitation (PP) method over various supports towards the hydroformylation reaction follows the order: Rh/ZrO2 > Rh/CeO2 > Rh/MgO. Comparing Rh/CeO2 catalysts synthesized via different methods, catalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) showed catalytic activity for the hydroformylation reaction at lower temperatures (413 K), whereas catalysts prepared by wet impregnation (WI) showed the highest stability. These results not only provide fundamental insights into the atomistic level of industrially relevant reactions but also pave the way for a rational design of new catalysts in the future.

Abstract
Few-atom metal clusters (FAMCs) exhibit superior performance in catalyzing complex molecular transformations due to their special spatial environments and electronic states, compared to single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, achieving the efficient and accurate synthesis of FAMCs while avoiding the formation of other species, such as nanoparticles and SACs, still remains challenges. Herein, we report a two-step strategy for synthesis of few-atom platinum (Pt) clusters by predeposition of zinc single-atom-glue (Zn1) on MgO nanosheets (Ptn-Zn1/MgO), where FAMCs can be obtained over a wide range of Pt contents (0.09 to 1.45 wt %). Zn atoms can act as Lewis acidic sites to allow electron transfer between Zn and Pt through bridging O atoms, which play a crucial role in the formation and stabilization of few-atom Pt clusters. Ptn-Zn1/MgO exhibited a high selectivity of 93 % for anti-Markovnikov alkene hydrosilylation. Moreover, an excellent activity with a turnover frequency of up to 1.6×104 h-1 can be achieved, exceeding most of the reported Pt SACs. Further theoretical studies revealed that the Pt atoms in Ptn-Zn1/MgO possess moderate steric hindrance, which enables high selectivity and activity for hydrosilylation. This work presents some guidelines for utilizing atomic-scale species to increase the synthesis efficiency and precision of FAMCs.

Abstract
Chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes to alcohols is of importance in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report a reusable CeO2-supported Au nanoparticle catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of aldehydes using syngas as the hydrogen source for which CO in syngas works as a site blocker to prevent side reactions. In particular, the hydrogenation of aldehydes with an easily reducible alkene, alkyne, or halogen moiety under syngas gave the corresponding alcohols with high selectivity, while the hydrogenation under pure hydrogen resulted in overreduction or dehalogenation. Of particular interest is that CO works as a site blocker but does not affect the hydrogenation rate significantly. A potential application of the present catalyst system was demonstrated by the conversion of terminal alkenes to alcohols via a one-pot hydroformylation/hydrogenation sequence.

Abstract
Rh(II) porphyrin complexes display pronounced metal-centered radical character and the ability to activate small molecules under mild conditions, but catalysis with Rh(II) porphyrins is extremely rare. In addition to facile dimerization, Rh(II) porphyrins readily engage in kinetically and thermodynamically facile reactions involving two Rh(II) centers to generate stable Rh(III)-X intermediates that obstruct turnover in thermal catalysis. Here we report site isolation of Rh(II) metalloradicals in a MOF host, which not only protects Rh(II) metalloradicals against dimerization, but also allows them to participate in thermal catalysis. Access to PCN-224 or PCN-222 in which the porphyrin linkers are fully metalated by Rh(II) in the absence of any accompanying Rh(0) nanoparticles was achieved via the first direct MOF synthesis with a linker containing a transition-metal alkyl moiety, followed by Rh(III)-C bond photolysis.

Abstract
Metal individual atoms and few-atom clusters show extraordinary catalytic properties for a variety of organic reactions, however, their implementation in total synthesis of complex organic molecules is still to be determined. Here we show a 11-step linear synthesis of the natural product (±)-Licarin B, where individual Pd atoms (Pd1) catalyze the direct aerobic oxidation of an alcohol to the carboxylic acid (steps 1 and 6), Cu2-7 clusters catalyze carbon-oxygen cross couplings (steps 3 and 8), Pd3-4 clusters catalyze a Sonogashira coupling (step 4) and Pt3-5 clusters catalyze a Markovnikov hydrosylilation of alkynes (step 5), as key reactions during the synthetic route. In addition, the new synthesis of Licarin B showcases an unexpected selective alkene hydrogenation with metal-free NaBH4 and an acid-catalyzed intermolecular carbonyl-olefin metathesis as the last step, to forge a trans-alkene group. These results, together, open new avenues in the use of metal individual atoms and clusters in organic synthesis, and confirm their exceptional catalytic activity in late stages during complex synthetic programmes.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts hold the potential to significantly impact the chemical sector, pushing the boundaries of catalysis in new, uncharted directions. These materials, featuring isolated metal species ligated on solid supports, can exist in many coordination environments, all of which have shown important functions in specific transformations. Their emergence has also provided exciting opportunities for mimicking metalloenzymes and bridging the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This Review outlines the impressive progress made in recent years regarding the use of single-atom catalysts in organic synthesis. We also illustrate potential knowledge gaps in the search for more sustainable, earth-abundant single-atom catalysts for synthetic applications.

Abstract
In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received a significant amount of attention due to their high atomic utilization, low cost, high reaction activity, and selectivity for multiple catalytic reactions. Unfortunately, the high surface free energy of single atoms leads them easily migrated and aggregated. Therefore, support materials play an important role in the preparation and catalytic performance of SACs. Aiming at understanding the relationship between support materials and the catalytic performance of SACs, the support effects in SACs are introduced and reviewed herein. Moreover, special emphasis is placed on exploring the influence of the type and structure of supports on SAC catalytic performance through advanced characterization and theoretical research. Future research directions for support materials are also proposed, providing some insight into the design of SACs with high efficiency and high loading.

Abstract
The limitations of conventional strategies in finely controlling the composition and structure demand new promotional effects for upgrading the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) catalysts for enhanced fuel production. We report the design and synthesis of a hetero-dual-site catalyst for boosting RWGS performance by controllably loading Fe atoms at the neighboring Pt atom on the surface of commercial CeO2. The Fe-Pt/CeO2 exhibits a remarkably high catalytic performance (TOFPt: 43,519 h-1) for CO2 to CO conversion with ∼100% CO selectivity at a relatively low temperature of 350 °C. Furthermore, the catalyst retains over 80% activity after 200 h of continuous operation. The experimental and computational investigations reveal a "two-way synergistic effect", where Fe atoms can not only serve as promotors to alter the charge density of Pt atoms but also be activated by the excess active hydrogen species generated by Pt atoms, enhancing catalytic activity and stability.

Abstract
The local structure of the active sites is one of the key aspects of establishing the nature of the catalytic activity of the systems. In this work, a detailed structural investigation of the Rh-CeO2 catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method was carried out. The application of a variety of physicochemical methods such as XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TEM, TPR-H2, and XAS revealed the presence of highly dispersed Rh3+ species in the catalysts: Rh3+ single ions and RhOx clusters. The substitution of Ce4+ ions by Rh3+ species, which provided a strong distortion of the CeO2 lattice, is shown. XAS data ensured the refinement of the Rh local structure. It was shown that single Rh3+ sites located next to each other can merge the formation of RhOx clusters with Rh local environment close to the one in Rh2O3 and CeRh2O5 oxides. The distortion of the CeO2 lattice around single and cluster rhodium species had a beneficial effect on the catalytic activity of the samples in low-temperature CO oxidation (LTO-CO). TEM, XAS, and in situ XRD data allowed establishing the structural transformations of the catalysts under Red-Ox treatments. The reduction treatment led to Rhn metallic cluster formation localized on defects of the reduced CeO2-δ. The reduced sample demonstrated efficient CO conversion at 0 °C. However, this system was not stable: its contact with air led to ceria reoxidation and partial reoxidation of Rh to highly dispersed Rh3+ species at room temperature, while heating in an oxidizing atmosphere resulted in the complete reoxidation of metallic rhodium species. The results of the work shed light on the structural aspects of the reversibility of the Rh-CeO2 catalysts based on the highly dispersed Rh3+ species under treatment in the reaction conditions.

Abstract
A frontier challenge in single-atom (SA) catalysis is the design of fully inorganic sites capable of emulating the high reaction selectivity traditionally exclusive of organometallic counterparts in homogeneous catalysis. Modulating the direct coordination environment in SA sites, via the exploitation of the oxide support's surface chemistry, stands as a powerful albeit underexplored strategy. We report that isolated Rh atoms stabilized on oxygen-defective SnO2 uniquely unite excellent TOF with essentially full selectivity in the gas-phase hydroformylation of ethylene, inhibiting the thermodynamically favored olefin hydrogenation. Density Functional Theory calculations and surface characterization suggest that substantial depletion of the catalyst surface in lattice oxygen, energetically facile on SnO2 , is key to unlock a high coordination pliability at the mononuclear Rh centers, leading to an exceptional performance which is on par with that of molecular catalysts in liquid media.

Abstract
The surface and interface coordination structures of heterogeneous metal catalysts are crucial to their catalytic performance. However, the complicated surface and interface structures of heterogeneous catalysts make it challenging to identify the molecular-level structure of their active sites and thus precisely control their performance. To address this challenge, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADMCs) and ligand-protected atomically precise metal clusters (APMCs) have been emerging as two important classes of model heterogeneous catalysts in recent years, helping to build bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This review illustrates how the surface and interface coordination chemistry of these two types of model catalysts determines the catalytic performance from multiple dimensions. The section of ADMCs starts with the local coordination structure of metal sites at the metal-support interface, and then focuses on the effects of coordinating atoms, including their basicity and hardness/softness. Studies are also summarized to discuss the cooperativity achieved by dual metal sites and remote effects. In the section of APMCs, the roles of surface ligands and supports in determining the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability of APMCs are illustrated. Finally, some personal perspectives on the further development of surface coordination and interface chemistry for model heterogeneous metal catalysts are presented.

Abstract
The potential of operando X-ray techniques for following the structure, fate, and active site of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is highlighted with emphasis on a synergetic approach of both topics. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and related X-ray techniques have become fascinating tools to characterize solids and they can be applied to almost all the transition metals deriving information about the symmetry, oxidation state, local coordination, and many more structural and electronic properties. SACs, a newly coined concept, recently gained much attention in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. In this way, one can achieve a minimum use of the metal, theoretically highest efficiency, and the design of only one active site-so-called single site catalysts. While single sites are not easy to characterize especially under operating conditions, XAS as local probe together with complementary methods (infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy) is ideal in this research area to prove the structure of these sites and the dynamic changes during reaction. In this review, starting from their fundamentals, various techniques related to conventional XAS and X-ray photon in/out techniques applied to single sites are discussed with detailed mechanistic and in situ/operando studies. We systematically summarize the design strategies of SACs and outline their exploration with XAS supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and recent machine learning tools.

Abstract
Tandem catalysis stands out as a major instrument towards the intensification of existing and future chemical processes. Initially formulated in the field of homogeneous catalysis, the concept relies on the single-pot integration of two (or more) catalysts showing high specificity for mechanistically decoupled reactions, while being operational and compatible under a single set of operation conditions. Isolated metal atoms stabilized on solid carriers in single-atom catalysts (SACs) hold the potential to reconcile the high reaction specificities of mononuclear sites in molecular catalysts with an intrinsic catalyst compartmentalization on inorganic matrices. Understandably, SACs have started to be considered as platforms in tandem catalysis. Tandem (electro)catalytic processes based on SACs have been showcased recently. While this sets excellent prospects for the expansion of this research subarea, challenges are faced, particularly as to the verification of the tandem nature of the processes.

Abstract
Single-atom-site catalysts (SASCs) featuring maximized atom utilization and isolated active sites have progressed tremendously in recent years as a highly prosperous branch of catalysis research. Varieties of SASCs have been developed that show excellent performance in many catalytic applications. The major goal of SASC research is to establish feasible synthetic strategies for the preparation of high-performance catalysts, to achieve an in-depth understanding of the active-site structures and catalytic mechanisms, and to develop practical catalysts with industrial value. This Perspective describes the up-to-date development of SASCs and related catalysts, such as dual-atom-site catalysts (DASCs) and nano-single-atom-site catalysts (NSASCs), analyzes the current challenges encountered by these catalysts for industrial applications, and proposes their possible future development path.

Abstract
Supported precious-metal single-atom catalysts (PM SACs) have emerged as a new frontier of high-performance catalytic material with 100% atom utilization efficiency. However, the rational design of such material with guidance from fundamental understandings of the structure-activity relationship remains challenging. Here, we report the synthesis, characterizations, and mechanistic investigation of various PM SACs supported on nanoceria for CH4 combustion. Using density functional theory, two descriptors as the d-band center of PMs and oxygen vacancy formation energy are established, which jointly govern the reactivity for CH4 combustion. These descriptors are thus applied to predict a dual SAC consisting of proximate Pd and Rh sites, demonstrating a remarkable improvement versus Pd or Rh catalyst, respectively. Our results reveal the general strategy of integrating experimental and computational efforts for investigation of various PM SACs in methane combustion, thus paving the way for the next generation of advanced catalytic materials.

Abstract
A remote C(sp3 )-H bond asymmetric borylation of unactivated alkenes was achieved by bimetallic relay catalysis. The reaction proceeded through reversible and consecutive β-H elimination/olefin insertion promoted by CoH species generated in situ, followed by copper-catalyzed asymmetric protoboration. The use of this synergistic Co/Cu catalysis protocol allowed the enantioselective protoboration of various unactivated terminal alkenes and internal alkenes, as well as an unrefined mixture of olefin isomers, at the distal less-reactive β-position to a functional group, leading to chiral organoboronates.

Abstract
To date, the scope of single-atom catalysts (SAC) in liquid-phase transformations is rather limited owing to stability issues and the inability to activate complex substances. This calls for a better design of the catalyst support that can provide a dynamic coordination environment needed for catalytic action, and yet retain robustness against leaching or aggregation. In addition, the chemical orthogonality of SAC is useful for designing tandem or multicomponent reactions, in which side reactions common to metal nanoparticles are suppressed. In this review, the intrinsic mechanism will be highlighted that controls reaction efficiency and selectivity in SAC-catalyzed pathways, as well as the structural dynamism of SAC under complex liquid-phase conditions. These mechanistic insights are helpful for the development of next-generation SAC systems for the synthesis of high-value pharmaceuticals through late-stage functionalization, sequential and multicomponent strategies.

Abstract
The chain–walking of terminal alkenes (also called migration or isomerization reaction) is currently carried out in industry with unselective and relatively costly processes, to give mixtures of alkenes with significant amounts of oligomerized, branched and reduced by–products. Here, it is shown that part–per–million amounts of a variety of commercially available and in–house made ruthenium compounds, supported or not, transform into an extremely active catalyst for the regioselective migration of terminal alkenes to internal positions, with yields and selectivity up to >99% and without any solvent, ligand, additive or protecting atmosphere required, but only heating at temperatures >150 °C. The resulting internal alkene can be prepared in kilogram quantities, ready to be used in nine different organic reactions without any further treatment. The chain-walking of terminal alkenes is an industrially relevant reaction. Here, the authors show that part-per-million amounts of a variety of ruthenium compounds catalyze the reaction in yields and selectivity up to >99%, without any solvent or additive.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted extensive attention in fields related to energy, environment, and material sciences because of the high atom efficiency and the unique properties of these materials. Many approaches have hitherto been successfully established to prepare SACs, including impregnation, pyrolysis-involved processes, atom trapping, and coprecipitation. However, under typical reaction conditions, single atoms on catalysts tend to migrate or agglomerate, forming nanoclusters or nanoparticles, which lowers their surface free energy. Efforts are required to develop strategies for improving the thermal stability of SACs while achieving excellent catalytic performance.

Abstract
Ligands are the most commonly used means to control the regioselectivity of organic reactions. It is very important to develop new regioselective control methods for organic synthesis. In this study, we designed and synthesized a single-atomic-site catalyst (SAC), namely, Cu1-TiC, with strong electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) effects by studying various reaction mechanisms. π cloud back-donation to the alkyne on the metal catalytic intermediate was enhanced during the reaction by using transient electron-rich characteristics. In this way, the reaction achieved highly linear-E-type regioselective conversion of electronically unbiased alkynes and completely avoided the formation of branched isomers (ln:br >100:1, TON up to 612, 3 times higher than previously recorded). The structural elements of the SACs were designed following the requirements of the synthesis mechanism. Every element in the catalyst played an important role in the synthesis mechanism. This demonstrated that the EMSI, which is normally thought to be responsible for the improvement in catalytic efficiency and durability in heterogeneous catalysis, now first shows exciting potential for regulating the regioselectivity in homogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
We demonstrated how the special synergy between a noble metal single site and neighboring oxygen vacancies provides an "ensemble reaction pool" for high hydrogen generation efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO2) selectivity of a tandem reaction: methanol steam reforming. Specifically, the hydrogen generation rate over single site Ru1/CeO2 catalyst is up to 9360 mol H2 per mol Ru per hour (579 mLH2 gRu-1 s-1) with 99.5% CO2 selectivity. Reaction mechanism study showed that the integration of metal single site and O vacancies facilitated the tandem reaction, which consisted of methanol dehydrogenation, water dissociation, and the subsequent water gas shift (WGS) reaction. In addition, the strength of CO adsorption and the reaction activation energy difference between methanol dehydrogenation and WGS reaction play an important role in determining the activity and CO2 selectivity. Our study paves the way for the further rational design of single site catalysts at the atomic scale. Furthermore, the development of such highly efficient and selective hydrogen evolution systems promises to deliver highly desirable economic and ecological benefits.

Abstract
Adjusting hydrocarbon product distributions in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is of notable significance in the context of so-called X-to-liquids (XTL) technologies. While cobalt catalysts are selective to long-chain paraffin precursors for synthetic jet- and diesel-fuels, lighter (C10-) alkane condensates are less valuable for fuel production. Alternatively, iron carbide-based catalysts are suitable for the coproduction of paraffinic waxes alongside liquid (and gaseous) olefin chemicals; however, their activity for the water-gas-shift reaction (WGSR) is notoriously detrimental when hydrogen-rich syngas feeds, for example, derived from (unconventional) natural gas, are to be converted. Herein the roles of pore architecture and oxide promoters of Lewis basic character on CoRu/Al2O3 FT catalysts are systematically addressed, targeting the development of catalysts with unusually high selectivity to liquid olefins. Both alkali and lanthanide oxides lead to a decrease in turnover frequency. The latter, particularly PrO x , prove effective to boost the selectivity to liquid (C5-10) olefins without undesired WGSR activity. In situ CO-FTIR spectroscopy suggests a dual promotion via both electronic modification of surface Co sites and the inhibition of Lewis acidity on the support, which has direct implications for double-bond isomerization reactivity and thus the regioisomery of liquid olefin products. Density functional theory calculations ascribe oxide promotion to an enhanced competitive adsorption of molecular CO versus hydrogen and olefins on oxide-decorated cobalt surfaces, dampening (secondary) olefin hydrogenation, and suggest an exacerbated metal surface carbophilicity to underlie the undesired induction of WGSR activity by strongly electron-donating alkali oxide promoters. Enhanced pore molecular transport within a multimodal meso-macroporous architecture in combination with PrO x as promoter, at an optimal surface loading of 1 Prat nm-2, results in an unconventional product distribution, reconciling benefits intrinsic to Co- and Fe-based FT catalysts, respectively. A chain-growth probability of 0.75, and thus >70 C% selectivity to C5+ products, is achieved alongside lighter hydrocarbon (C5-10) condensates that are significantly enriched in added-value chemicals (67 C%), predominantly α-olefins but also linear alcohols, remarkably with essentially no CO2 side-production (<1%). Such unusual product distributions, integrating precursors for synthetic fuels and liquid platform chemicals, might be desired to diversify the scope and improve the economics of small-scale gas- and biomass-to-liquid processes.

Abstract
Gold single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit outstanding reactivity in acetylene hydrochlorination to vinyl chloride, but their practical applicability is compromised by current synthesis protocols, using aqua regia as chlorine-based dispersing agent, and their high susceptibility to sintering on non-functionalized carbon supports at >500 K and/or under reaction conditions. Herein, a sustainable synthesis route to carbon-supported gold nanostructures in bimetallic catalysts is developed by employing salts as alternative chlorine source, allowing for tailored gold dispersion, ultimately reaching atomic level when using H2 PtCl6 . To rationalize these observations, several synthesis parameters (i.e., pH, Cl-content) as well as the choice of metal chlorides are evaluated, hinting at the key role of platinum in promoting a chlorine-mediated dispersion mechanism. This can be further extrapolated to redisperse large gold agglomerates (>70 nm) on carbon carriers into isolated atoms, which has important implications for catalyst regeneration. Another key role of platinum single atoms is to inhibit the sintering of their spatially isolated gold-based analogs up to 800 K and during acetylene hydrochlorination, without compromising the intrinsic activity of Au(I)-Cl active sites. Accordingly, exploiting cooperativity effects of a second metal is a promising strategy towards practical applicability of gold SACs, opening up exciting opportunities for multifunctional single-atom catalysis.

Abstract
The discussion concerning cooperativity in supported single-atom (SA) catalysis is often limited to the metal-support interaction, which is certainly important, but which is not the only lever for modifying the catalytic performance. Indeed, if the interaction between the SA and the support, which can be seen as a solid ligand presenting its own specificities that fix the first coordination sphere of the metal, plays a central role as in homogeneous catalysis, other factors can strongly contribute to modification of the activity, selectivity and stability of SAs. Therefore, in this mini-review, we briefly summarize the importance of the support (oxide, carbon or a second metal) in SA photo- electro- and thermal-catalysis (support-assisted operation), and concentrate on other types of cooperativities that in some cases enable previously impossible reaction pathways on supported metal SAs. This includes topics that are not specific to SA catalysis, such as metal-ligand or heterobimetallic cooperativity, and cooperativity which is SA-specific such as nanoparticle-SA or mixed-valence SA cooperativity.

Abstract
Single-atom site catalysts (SACs) have been used in multitudinous reactions delivering ultrahigh atom utilization and enhanced performance, but it is challenging for one single atom site to catalyze an intricate tandem reaction needing different reactive sites. Herein, we report a robust SAC with dual reactive sites of isolated Pt single atoms and the Ni3Fe intermetallic support (Pt1/Ni3Fe IMC) for tandem catalyzing the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). It delivers a high catalytic performance with 99.0% 5-HMF conversion in 30 min and a 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) yield of 98.1% in 90 min at a low reaction temperature of 160 °C, as well as good recyclability. These results place Pt1/Ni3Fe IMC among the most active catalysts for the 5-HMF hydrodeoxygenation reaction reported to date. Rational control experiments and first-principles calculations confirm that Pt1/Ni3Fe IMC can readily facilitate the hydrodeoxygenation reaction by a tandem mechanism, where the single Pt site accounts for C[double bond, length as m-dash]O group hydrogenation and the Ni3Fe interface promotes the C-OH bond cleavage. This interfacial tandem catalysis over the Pt single-atom site and Ni3Fe IMC support may develop new opportunities for the rational structural design of SACs applied in other heterogeneous tandem reactions.

Abstract
We report an Ag1 single-atom catalyst (Ag1 /MnO2 ), which was synthesized from thermal transformation of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and surface reconstruction of MnO2 . The evolution process of Ag NPs to single atoms is firstly revealed by various techniques, including in situ ETEM, in situ XRD and DFT calculations. The temperature-induced surface reconstruction process from the MnO2 (211) to (310) lattice plane is critical to firmly confine the existing surface of Ag single atoms; that is, the thermal treatment and surface reconstruction of MnO2 is the driving force for the formation of single Ag atoms. The as-obtained Ag1 /MnO2 achieved 95.7 % Faradic efficiency at -0.85 V vs. RHE, and coupled with long-term stability for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). DFT calculations indicated single Ag sites possessed high electronic density close to Fermi Level and could act exclusively as the active sites in the CO2 RR. As a result, the Ag1 /MnO2 catalyst demonstrated remarkable performance for the CO2 RR, far surpassing the conventional Ag nanosized catalyst (AgNP /MnO2 ) and other reported Ag-based catalysts.

Abstract
Hydrosilylation reactions, which allow the addition of Si-H to C=C/C≡C bonds, are typically catalyzed by homogeneous noble metal catalysts (Pt, Rh, Ir, and Ru). Although excellent activity and selectivity can be obtained, the price, purification, and metal residues of these precious catalysts are problems in the silicone industry. Thus, a strong interest in more sustainable catalysts and for more economic processes exists. In this respect, recently disclosed hydrosilylations using catalysts based on earth-abundant transition metals, for example, Fe, Co, Ni, and Mn, and heterogeneous catalysts (supported nanoparticles and single-atom sites) are noteworthy. This minireview describes the recent advances in this field.

Abstract
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 catalysts (SACs) have only recently gained prominence. Host materials have similar functions to ligands in homogeneous catalysts, determining the stability, local environment, and electronic properties of isolated atoms and thus providing a platform for tailoring heterogeneous catalysts for targeted applications. Within just a decade, we have witnessed many examples of SACs both disrupting diverse fields of heterogeneous catalysis with their distinctive reactivity and substantially enriching our understanding of molecular processes on surfaces. To date, the term SAC mostly refers to late transition metal-based systems, but numerous examples exist in which isolated atoms of other elements play key catalytic roles. This review provides a compositional encyclopedia of SACs, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the introduction of this term. By defining single-atom catalysis in the broadest sense, we explore the full elemental diversity, joining different areas across the whole periodic table, and discussing historical milestones and recent developments. In particular, we examine the coordination structures and associated properties accessed through distinct single-atom-host combinations and relate them to their main applications in thermo-, electro-, and photocatalysis, revealing trends in element-specific evolution, host design, and uses. Finally, we highlight frontiers in the field, including multimetallic SACs, atom proximity control, and possible applications for multistep and cascade reactions, identifying challenges, and propose directions for future development in this flourishing field.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) can not only maximize the metal atom utilization efficiency, but also show drastically improved catalytic performance for various important catalytic processes. Insights into the working principles of SACs provide rational guidance to design and prepare advanced catalysts. Many factors have been claimed to affect the performance of SACs, which makes it very challenging to clarify the correlation between the catalytic performance and physicochemical characteristics of SACs. Oxide-supported SACs are one of the most extensively explored systems. In this minireview, some latest developments on the determining factors of the stability, activity and selectivity of SACs on oxide supports are overviewed. Discussed also are the reaction mechanisms for different systems and methods that are employed to correlate the properties with the catalyst structures at the atomic level. In particular, a recently proposed surface free energy approach is introduced to fabricate well-defined modelled SACs that may help address some key issues in the development of SACs in the future.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs) have recently attracted great attention in heterogeneous catalysis and have been regarded as ideal models for investigating the strong interaction between metal and support. Despite the huge progress over the past decade, the deep understanding on the structure-performance correlation of SACs at a single atom level still remains to be a great challenge. In this study, we demonstrate that the variation in the coordination number of the Pt single atom can significantly promote the propylene selectivity during propyne semihydrogenation (PSH) for the first time. Specifically, the propylene selectivity greatly increases from 65.4% to 94.1% as the coordination number of Pt-O increases from ∼3.4 to ∼5, whereas the variation in the coordination number of Pt-O slightly influences the turnover frequency values of SACs. We anticipate that the present work may deepen the understanding on the structure-performance of SACs and also promote the fundamental research in single atom catalysis.

Abstract
The Pt-catalysed addition of silanes to functional groups such as alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls and alcohols, i.e. the hydrosilylation reaction, is a fundamental transformation in industrial and academic chemistry, often claimed as the most important application of Pt catalysts in solution. However, the exact nature of the Pt active species and its mechanism of action is not well understood yet, particularly regarding regioselectivity. Here, experimental and computational studies together with an ad hoc graphical method show that the hydroaddition of alkynes proceeds through Pt-Si-H clusters of 3-5 atoms (metal(oid) association) in parts per million amounts (ppm), which decrease the energy of the transition state and direct the regioselectivity of the reaction. Based on these findings, new extremely-active (ppm) microporous solid catalysts for the hydrosilylation of alkynes, alkenes and alcohols have been developed, paving the way for more environmentally-benign industrial applications.

Abstract
Realizing the full potential of oxide‐supported single‐atom metal catalysts (SACs) is key to successfully bridge the gap between the fields of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Here we show that the one‐pot combination of Ru1/CeO2 and Rh1/CeO2 SACs enables a highly selective olefin isomerization‐hydrosilylation tandem process, hitherto restricted to molecular catalysts in solution. Individually, monoatomic Ru and Rh sites show a remarkable reaction specificity for olefin double‐bond migration and anti‐Markovnikov α‐olefin hydrosilylation, respectively. First‐principles DFT calculations ascribe such selectivity to differences in the binding strength of the olefin substrate to the monoatomic metal centers. The single‐pot cooperation of the two SACs allows the production of terminal organosilane compounds with high regio‐selectivity (>95 %) even from industrially‐relevant complex mixtures of terminal and internal olefins, alongside a straightforward catalyst recycling and reuse. These results demonstrate the significance of oxide‐supported single‐atom metal catalysts in tandem catalytic reactions, which are central for the intensification of chemical processes.
