Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) decomposition is increasingly acknowledged as a viable strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ozone depletion, aligning significantly with the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs) and carbon neutrality objectives. To enhance efficiency in treatment and explore potential valorization, recent developments have introduced novel N2O reduction catalysts and pathways. Despite these advancements, a comprehensive and comparative review is absent. In this review, we undertake a thorough evaluation of N2O treatment technologies from a holistic perspective. First, we summarize and update the recent progress in thermal decomposition, direct catalytic decomposition (deN2O), and selective catalytic reduction of N2O. The scope extends to the catalytic activity of emerging catalysts, including nanostructured materials and single-atom catalysts. Furthermore, we present a detailed account of the mechanisms and applications of room-temperature techniques characterized by low energy consumption and sustainable merits, including photocatalytic and electrocatalytic N2O reduction. This article also underscores the extensive and effective utilization of N2O resources in chemical synthesis scenarios, providing potential avenues for future resource reuse. This review provides an accessible theoretical foundation and a panoramic vision for practical N2O emission controls.

Abstract
Efficient CO oxidation at ambient or low temperatures is essential for environmental purification and selective CO oxidation in H2, yet achieving this remains a challenge with current methodologies. In this research, we extensively evaluated the catalytic performance of phosphotungstic acid (PTA)-supported 11 M1/PTA single-atom catalysts (SACs) using density functional theory calculations across both gas phase and 12 common solvents. The Rh1/PTA, Pd1/PTA, and Pt1/PTA systems exhibit moderate CO adsorption energies, facilitating the feasibility of oxygen vacancy formation. Remarkably, the Pd1/PTA and Pt1/PTA catalysts exhibited negligible energy barriers and demonstrated exceptionally high catalytic rates, with values reaching up to (1 × 1010)11, markedly exceeding the threshold for room temperature reactions, set at 6.55 × 108. This phenomenon is attributed to a transition from the high-energy barrier processes of oxygen dissociation in O2 and N-O bond dissociation in N2O to the more efficient dissociation of H2O2. Orbital analysis and charge variations at metal sites throughout the reaction process provide deeper insights into the role of the three metal catalytic sites in CO activation. Our findings not only reveal key aspects of SACs in facilitating CO oxidation at low temperatures but also provide valuable insights for future catalytic reaction mechanism studies and environmental applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation technology holds promise for ideal advanced treatment of antibiotic wastewater. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are a new hotspot in catalytic science, but the photochemical studies on the removal of antibiotics from water and biocompatibility after entering the environment are scarce. In this work, we prepared a single Mn atom immobilized on N-doped biochar (Mn@N-Biochar) by impregnation calcination method for enhancing photocatalytic degradation of sulfanilamide (SNM) in different types of various water systems. Compared with the original biochar, Mn@N-Biochar showed enhanced SNM degradation and TOC removal capacity. DFT calculation concluded that the electrons of d-orbital (Mn) and p-orbital (N) altered the electronic structure of biochar and enhanced the photoelectric performance. It was shown that Mn@N-Biochar caused negligible systemic inflammation and tissue damage when given orally in mice, and also did not alter cell death and ROS production in human lung, kidney, and liver cells, as compared with biochar. We are convinced that Mn@N-Biochar could enhance the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics while maintaining biocompatibility, which could be a promising strategy for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This work presents a systematical experimental and density functional theory (DFT) studies to reveal the mechanism of NO reduction by H2 reaction over platinum nanoparticles (NPs) deposited on boron-doped graphene (denoted as Pt/BG) catalyst. Both characterizations and DFT calculations identified boron (in Pt/BG) as an additional NO adsorption site other than the widely recognized Pt NPs. Moreover, BG led to a decrease of Pt NPs size in Pt/BG, which facilitated hydrogen spillover. The mathematical and physical criteria of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood dual-site kinetic model over the Pt/BG were satisfied, indicating that adsorbed NO on boron (in Pt/BG) was further activated by H-spillover. On the other hand, Pt/graphene (Pt/Gr) demonstrated a typical Langmuir-Hinshelwood single-site mechanism where Pt NPs solely served as active sites for NO adsorption. This work helps understand NO-H2 reaction over Pt/BG and Pt/Gr catalysts in a closely mechanistic view and provides new insights into roles of active sites for improving the design of catalysts for NO abatement.

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.
