Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs) show exceptional molecular adsorption and electron transfer capabilities owing to their remarkable atomic efficiency and tunable electronic structure, thereby providing promising solutions for diverse important processes including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, etc. Consequently, SACs hold great potential in the detection and degradation of pollutants present in contaminated gases. Over the past few years, SACs have made remarkable achievements in the field of contaminated gas detection and purification. In this review, we first provide a concise introduction to the significance and urgency of gas detection and pollutant purification, followed by a comprehensive overview of the structural feature identification methods for SACs. Subsequently, we systematically summarize the three key properties of SACs for detecting contaminated gases and discuss the research progress made in utilizing SACs to purify polluted gases. Finally, we analyze the enhancement mechanism and advantages of SACs in polluted gas detection and purification, and propose strategies to address challenges and expedite the development of SACs in polluted gas detection and purification.

Abstract
Low-temperature catalytic CO oxidation is an important chemical process in versatile applications, such as the H2 utilization for low-temperature H2 air fuel cells. Pt-group metal catalysts are efficient but highly cost-consuming. This work demonstrates an excellent and sixpenny catalyst with earth-abundant Ni and Ce, in which Ni ions are atomically incorporated into the CeO2 matrix (Ni-Ce-Ox) by synchronous spray-pyrolysis (SSP) of mixture nitrates of Ni and Ce. The Ni-Ce-Ox catalyst presents a mesoporous structure. Revealed by a model reaction of 1% CO, 1% O2, and 98% balance He at a space velocity of 13,200 mL/gcat/h, Ni-Ce-Ox catalysts display a typical volcano-shaped relationship between reactivity and Ni incorporation amount. The optimized Ni incorporation appears with a high Ni/Ce atomic ratio of 0.25, endowing the T50 (temperature corresponding to a CO conversion of 50%), which is lower-shifted by 165 °C than that of pristine CeO2 (266 °C). The density functional theory (DFT) calculations further indicate that the much-reduced oxygen vacancy formation energy at Ni-Ce single-atom sites boosted the adsorption activation of the CO molecule and therefore promoted the CO oxidation process. Besides, the2 Ni-Ce-Ox from the SSP method presents better performance than the counterparts from immersion and hydrothermal methods. This work paves a way to access efficient noble-metal-free catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation.

Abstract
Nitrogen doping is identified as an intriguing way to regulate graphene-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) for heterogeneous catalysis. However, little theoretical effort has been directed towards exploring the activity trend in terms of N-doping level. In this study, we systematically investigated the N-doping effect on CO oxidation activities for graphene-supported three-coordinated Ni SACs (Ni-NxC3-x) in virtue of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and microkinetic modeling. We found that N-doping will shift the d-band center of single-atom Ni upwards, enhance the adsorption of intermediates, and tune the activation barrier to the overall reaction activities. Ni-N1C2 exhibits excellent catalytic performance with the highest total reaction rate comparable to that of noble metal SACs. These findings are helpful for understanding the N-doping influence and rationalizing the art of designing novel SACs for CO oxidation at low temperatures.

Abstract
The booming industrialization has aggravated emission of air pollutants, inflicting serious harm on environment and human health. Supported noble-metals are one of the most popular catalysts for the oxidation removal of air pollutants. Unfortunately, the high price and large consumption restrict their development and practical application. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) emerge and offer an optimizing approach to address this issue. Due to maximal atom utilization, tunable coordination and electron environment and strong metal-support interaction, SACs have shown remarkable catalytic performance on many reactions. Over the last decade, great potential of SACs has been witnessed in the elimination of air pollutants. In this review, we first briefly summarize the synthesis methods and modulation strategies together with the characterization techniques of SACs. Next, we highlight the application of SACs in the abatement of air pollutants including CO, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NOx, unveiling the related catalytic mechanism of SACs. Finally, we propose the remaining challenges and future perspectives of SACs in fundamental research and practical application in the field of air pollutant removal.

Abstract
The development of cost-efficient catalysts with good catalytic activity is an urgent task for polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon (PCAH) oxidation. Herein, atomically dispersed Ru catalysts (denoted as Ru ADCs) proved by aberration corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy were synthesized for PCAH oxidation. The oxidation results showed that 0.2 Ru ADCs exhibited enhanced catalytic activity (T50% < 250 °C, T90% < 300 °C) compared with the T90% > 300 °C on 0.2 Ru nanoparticles (NPs). Besides, 0.2 Ru ADCs demonstrated high CO2 yield with >60% CO2 ratio, along with good stability (>80% conversion for 800 mins). The better performance of 0.2 Ru ADCs was verified by kinetic experiments, in which, the apparent activation energy associated with 0.2 Ru ADCs (50.8 kJ mol-1) was significantly lower compared with that with 0.2 Ru NPs (80.0 kJ mol-1). The superior oxidation activity of 0.2 Ru ADCs was also applied to toluene oxidation. H2 temperature-programmed reduction ensured the stronger interaction of Ru species with the supports in Ru ADCs than that in Ru NPs, thus inhibiting Ru species aggregation and favoring their higher dispersion ensured by CO temperature-programmed desorption. The present work provides a potential strategy to maximize the usage of noble metal catalysts for PCAH oxidation.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the most harmful pollutant in the air, causing environmental issues and adversely affecting humans and the vegetation and then raises global warming indirectly. CO oxidation is one of the most effective methods of reducing CO by converting it into carbon dioxide (CO2) using a suitable catalytic system, due to its simplicity and great value for pollution control. The CO oxidation reaction has been widely studied in various applications, including proton-exchange membrane fuel cell technology and catalytic converters. CO oxidation has also been of great academic interest over the last few decades as a model reaction. Many review studies have been produced on catalysts development for CO oxidation, emphasizing noble metal catalysts, the configuration of catalysts, process parameter influence, and the deactivation of catalysts. Nevertheless, there is still some gap in a state of the art knowledge devoted exclusively to synergistic interactions between catalytic activity and physicochemical properties. In an effort to fill this gap, this analysis updates and clarifies innovations for various latest developed catalytic CO oxidation systems with contemporary evaluation and the synergistic relationship between oxygen vacancies, strong metal-support interaction, particle size, metal dispersion, chemical composition acidity/basicity, reducibility, porosity, and surface area. This review study is useful for environmentalists, scientists, and experts working on mitigating the harmful effects of CO on both academic and commercial levels in the research and development sectors.

Abstract
The discovery of the activity of dispersed gold nanoparticles three decades ago paved the way for a new era in catalysis. The unusual behavior of these catalysts sparked many questions about their working mechanism. In particular, Au/CeO2 proved to be an efficient catalyst in several reactions such as CO oxidation, water gas shift, and CO2 reduction. Here, by employing findings from operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy at the near and extended Au and Ce LIII energy edges, we focus on the fundamental aspects of highly active Au/CeO2 catalysts, mainly in the CO oxidation for understanding their complex structure‐reactivity relationship. These results were combined with findings from in situ diffuse reflectance FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, highlighting the changes of adlayer and ceria defects. For a comprehensive understanding, the spectroscopic findings will be supplemented by results of the dynamics of O2 activation obtained from Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP). Merging these results illuminates the complex relationship among the oxidation state, size of the Au nanoparticles, the redox properties of CeO2 support, and the dynamics of O2 activation.

Abstract
The structural evolutions and electronic properties of AulPtm (l + m ≤ 10) clusters are investigated by using the first-principles methods. We use the inverse design of materials using the multi-objective differential evolution (IM2ODE) package to globally search the equilibrium structures and investigate the evolving trend from a two-dimensional structure to a three-dimensional structure on horizontal extension and vertical extension for AulPtm (l + m ≤ 10) clusters. The three-dimensional stable geometry of Au8Pt and Au8Pt2 is discovered for the first time in our work. We also notice that the equilibrium structures of AulPtm (l + m = 10 and l ≤ 8) tend to form a tetrahedral geometry and can be obtained by replacing the Au atom in the most stable structure of Aul+1Ptm-1 with the Pt atom, where Pt atoms assemble together and occupy the center of clusters and Au atoms prefer to lie on the vertex or edge position. The average binding energy (Eb) is mostly decided by Pt-Pt bond numbers, namely the numbers of Pt atoms, followed by Au-Pt bond numbers. The second-order energy difference (Δ2Ev and Δ2Eh) and the nearest-neighbor energy difference (Δ4Enn) show that Au6Pt, Au4Pt2, Au3Pt3, Au2Pt4 and AuPt7 clusters exhibit high relative physical stability, so we suggest that these clusters could be defined as the magic number clusters for AulPtm (l + m ≤ 10) clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap (Eg), adiabatic ionization potential (AIP) and the adiabatic electron affinity (AEA) are also investigated to elaborate the relative electronic stability of all the clusters.

Abstract
Research on heterogeneous single-atom catalysts (SACs) has become an emerging frontier in catalysis science because of their advantages in high utilization of noble metals, precisely identified active sites, high selectivity, and tunable activity. Graphene, as a one-atom-thick two-dimensional carbon material with unique structural and electronic properties, has been reported to be a superb support for SACs. Herein, we provide an overview of recent progress in investigations of graphene-based SACs. Among the large number of publications, we will selectively focus on the stability of metal single-atoms (SAs) anchored on different sites of graphene support and the catalytic performances of graphene-based SACs for different chemical reactions, including thermocatalysis and electrocatalysis. We will summarize the fundamental understandings on the electronic structures and their intrinsic connection with catalytic properties of graphene-based SACs, and also provide a brief perspective on the future design of efficient SACs with graphene and graphene-like materials.

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
Lignin is the most abundant biopolymer with aromatic building blocks and its valorization to sustainable chemicals and fuels has extremely great potential to reduce the excessive dependence on fossil resources, although such conversions remain challenging. The purpose of this Review is to present an insight into the catalytic conversion of lignin involving hydrogen, including reductive depolymerization and the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived monomers to arenes, cycloalkanes and phenols, with a main focus on the catalyst systems and reaction mechanisms. The roles of hydrogenation sites (Ru, Pt, Pd, Rh) and acid sites (Nb, Ti, Mo), as well as their interaction in selective hydrodeoxygenation reactions are emphasized. Furthermore, some inspirational strategies for the production of other value-added chemicals are mentioned. Finally, some personal perspectives are provided to highlight the opportunities within this attractive field.

Abstract
In recent decades, great expectation has always been placed on catalysts that can convert toxic CO into CO2 under mild conditions. The catalytic mechanism of CO oxidation by Mn-coordinated N-doped graphene with a single vacancy (MnN3-SV) and a double vacancy (MnN3-DV) was studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that CO2 on MnN3-SV could not be desorbed from the substrate and MnN3-SV was not suitable for use as a CO oxidation catalyst. MnN3-DV was more suitable for CO oxidation (COOR) and from the electronic structure it was found that the Mn atom was the main active site, which was the reaction site for CO oxidation. At temperatures of 0 and 298.15 K, CO oxidation on MnN3-DV via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism was the best reaction pathway. The rate-determining step using MnN3-DV as the catalyst for CO oxidation through the LH mechanism was O2 + CO → OOCO, and the energy barrier was 0.861 eV at 298.15 K. MnN3-DV was suitable as a catalyst for CO oxidation in terms of both thermodynamics and kinetics. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the various reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation on MnN3-DV, which is conducive to guiding the development and design of efficient catalysts for CO oxidation.

Abstract
The formation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) via CO catalytic coupling on a series of catalysts including Pdn (n = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6) clusters loaded on TiO2-V has been explored by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results show that different Pdn clusters have a remarkable influence on DMO formation. The Pd1/TiO2-V catalyst is not suitable for the CO catalytic coupling reaction since CO is easily bound to the O atom on the surface of TiO2-V leading to the formation of CO2. The activity of four catalysts complies with the following order of Pd4/TiO2-V > Pd6/TiO2-V > Pd2/TiO2-V > Pd3/TiO2-V by comparing the activation energy barriers of the rate-determining steps in the optimal paths. Charge analysis implies that less charge is transferred from the Pd4/TiO2-V and Pd6/TiO2-V catalysts to CO than on the other catalysts, which leads to the relatively weak adsorption of CO, and therefore CO has a greater tendency to react with other species on the surface. In addition, Pd6/TiO2-V also exhibits relatively higher selectivity toward DMO than the other three catalysts. Therefore, Pd6 is regarded as a suitable cluster, which is supported on TiO2-V demonstrating high catalytic activity and selectivity to DMO.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts receive considerable attention due to reducing noble metal utilization and potentially eliminating certain side reactions. Yet, the rational design of highly reactive and stable single atom catalysts is hampered by the current lack of fundamental insights at the single atom limit. Here, density functional theory calculations are performed for a prototype reaction, namely CO oxidation, over different single metal atoms supported on alumina. The governing reaction mechanisms and scaling relations are identified using microkinetic modeling and principal component analysis, respectively. A large change in the oxophilicity of the supported single metal atom leads to changes in the rate-determining step and the catalyst resting state. Multi-response surfaces are introduced and built cheaply using a descriptor-based, closed form kinetic model to describe simultaneously the activity, stability, and oxidation state of single metal atom catalysts. A double peaked volcano in activity is observed due to competing rate-determining steps and catalytic cycles. Reaction orders of reactants provide excellent kinetic signatures of the catalyst state. Importantly, the surface chemistry determines the stability, oxidation, and resting state of the catalyst.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysis has rapidly progressed during the last few years. In 2017, single-atom catalysts (SACs) were fabricated with higher metal loadings and designed into more delicate structures. SACs also found wide applications in C1 chemical conversion, such as selective oxidation of methane and conversion of carbon dioxide. Both experimental characterizations and computational modeling revealed the presence of tunable interactions between single atom species and their surrounding chemical environment, and thus SACs may be more effective and more stable than their nanoparticle counterparts. In this mini-review, we summarize the major achievements of SACs into three main aspects: a) the advanced synthetic methodologies, b) catalytic performance in C1 chemistry, and c) strong metal-support interaction induced unexpected durability. These accomplishments will shed new light on the recognition of single-atom catalysis and encourage more efforts to explore potential applications of SACs.

Abstract
Herein, we reported the synthesis of well-defined Co3O4 nanoarrays (NAs) supported on a monolithic three-dimensional macroporous nickel (Ni) foam substrate for use in high-efficiency CO oxidation. The monolithic Co3O4 NAs catalysts were obtained through a generic hydrothermal synthesis route with subsequent calcination. By controlling the reaction time, solvent polarity and deposition agent, these Co3O4 NAs catalysts exhibited various novel morphologies (single or hybrid arrays), whose physicochemical properties were further characterized by using several analytical techniques. Based on the catalytic and characterization analyses, it was found that the Co3O4 NAs-6 catalyst with nanobrush and nanomace arrays displayed enhanced catalytic activity for CO oxidation, achieving an efficient 100% CO oxidation conversion at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 10,000hr-1 and 150°C with long-term stability. Compared with the other Co3O4 NAs catalysts, it had the highest abundance of surface-adsorbed oxygen species, excellent low-temperature reducibility and was rich in surface-active sites (Co3+/Co2+=1.26).

Abstract
By means of density functional theory (DFT) computations, we systemically investigated CO/O2 adsorption and CO oxidation pathways on a bi-atom catalyst, namely, a copper dimer anchored on a C2N monolayer (Cu2@C2N), and we compared it with its monometallic counterpart Cu1@C2N. The Cu dimer could be stably embedded into the porous C2N monolayer. The reactions between the adsorbed O2 and CO via both bi-molecular and tri-molecular Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) and Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanisms were comparably studied, and we found that the bi-atom catalyst Cu2@C2N possessed superior performance toward CO oxidation as compared to the single-atom catalyst Cu1@C2N. Our comparative study suggested that the newly predicted bi-atom catalyst, i.e., a copper dimer anchored on a suitable support is highly active for CO oxidation, which can provide a useful guideline for further developing highly effective and low-cost green nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Atomically dispersing metal atoms on supports has been emerging as an effective strategy to maximize the atom utilization of metals for catalysis. However, due to the lack of effective tools to characterize the detailed structure of metal-support interface, the chemical functions of supports in atomically dispersed metal catalysts are hardly elucidated at the molecular level. In this work, an atomically dispersed Pd1/TiO2 catalyst with Ti(III) vicinal to Pd is prepared and used to demonstrate the direct involvement of metal atoms on support in the catalysis of dispersed metal atoms. Systematic studies reveal that the Ti(III)-O-Pd interface facilitates the activation of O2 into superoxide (O2-), thus promoting the catalytic oxidation. The catalyst exhibits the highest CO turn-over frequency among ever-reported Pd-based catalysts, and enhanced catalysis in the combustion of harmful volatile organic compound (i.e., toluene) and green-house gas (i.e., methane). The demonstrated direct involvement of metal atoms on oxide support suggests that the real active sites of atomically dispersed metal catalysts can be far beyond isolated metal atoms themselves. Metal atoms on oxide supports in the vicinity serve as another vector to promote the catalysis of atomically dispersed metal catalysts.

Abstract
Metal species with different size (single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) show different catalytic behavior for various heterogeneous catalytic reactions. It has been shown in the literature that many factors including the particle size, shape, chemical composition, metal-support interaction, and metal-reactant/solvent interaction can have significant influences on the catalytic properties of metal catalysts. The recent developments of well-controlled synthesis methodologies and advanced characterization tools allow one to correlate the relationships at the molecular level. In this Review, the electronic and geometric structures of single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles will be discussed. Furthermore, we will summarize the catalytic applications of single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles for different types of reactions, including CO oxidation, selective oxidation, selective hydrogenation, organic reactions, electrocatalytic, and photocatalytic reactions. We will compare the results obtained from different systems and try to give a picture on how different types of metal species work in different reactions and give perspectives on the future directions toward better understanding of the catalytic behavior of different metal entities (single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) in a unifying manner.

Abstract
The solvent-free selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes with molecular oxygen is highly attractive yet challenging. Interfacial sites between a metal and an oxide support are crucial in determining the activity and selectivity of such heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that the use of supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) leads to high activity and selectivity in this reaction. The significantly increased number of interfacial sites, resulting from the presence of individually dispersed metal atoms on the support, renders SACs one or two orders of magnitude more active than the corresponding nanoparticle (NP) catalysts. Lattice oxygen atoms activated at interfacial sites were found to be more selective than O2 activated on metal NPs in oxidizing the alcohol substrate. This work demonstrates for the first time that the number of interfacial sites is maximized in SACs, providing a new avenue for improving catalytic performance by developing appropriate SACs for alcohol oxidation and other reactions occurring at metal-support interfacial sites.
