Abstract
Tremendous challenges remain to develop high-efficient catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) owing to the poor activity and low selectivity. However, the activity of catalyst with single active site is limited by the linear scaling relationship between the adsorption energy of intermediates. Motivated by the idea of multiple activity centers, triple metal clusters (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, and Rh) doped PC6 monolayer (M3@PC6) were constructed in this study to investigate the CO2RR catalytic performance via density functional theory calculations. Results shows Mn3@PC6, Fe3@PC6, and Co3@PC6 exhibit high activity and selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CH4 with limiting potentials of -0.32, -0.28, and -0.31 V, respectively. Analysis on the high-performance origin shows the more binding sites in M3@PC6 render the triple-atom anchored catalysts (TACs) high ability in regulating the binding strength with intermediates by self-adjusting the charges and conformation, leading to the improved performance of M3@PC6 than dual-atom doped PC6. This work manifests the huge application of PC6 based TACs in CO2RR, which hope to prove valuable guidance for the application of TACs in a broader range of electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
The chemical recycling of polyester wastes is of great significance for sustainable development, which also provides an opportunity to access various oxygen-containing chemicals, but generally suffers from low efficiency or separation difficulty. Herein, we report anatase TiO2 supported Ru and Mo dual-atom catalysts, which achieve transformation of various polyesters into corresponding diols in 100% selectivity via hydrolysis and subsequent hydrogenation in water under mild conditions (e.g., 160 °C, 4 MPa). Compelling evidence is provided for the coexistence of Ru single-atom and O-bridged Ru and Mo dual-atom sites within this kind of catalysts. It is verified that the Ru single-atom sites activate H2 for hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derived from polyester hydrolysis, and the O-bridged Ru and Mo dual-atom sites suppress hydrodeoxygenation of the resultant alcohols due to a high reaction energy barrier. Notably, this kind of dual-atom catalysts can be regenerated with high activity and stability. This work presents an effective way to reconstruct polyester wastes into valuable diols, which may have promising application potential.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are attractive in one-carbon (C1) chemistry because of their high atom efficiency. However, it is a great challenge for understanding the dynamic roles of SACs under operating conditions. Here, isolated Pt atoms trapped on defective CeO2 surface are investigated by experiments, especially operando techniques, which offers basic understanding of the nature and dynamic evolution of the Pt-CeO2 interface in dry reforming of methane (DRM). The Pt-Olattice configuration is highly active for CH4 dissociation at the expense of the Olattice atoms, which in turn promotes the H-assisted dissociation of CO2. The transformation of Pt atoms between positive and metallic states is driven by the DRM reaction, which is essential for rendering highly efficient catalysis. The dynamic evolution of Pt atoms favors to eliminate the reactive intermediates, such as carbonates and formates. The dynamic nature of the Pt-CeO2 interface in the DRM reaction shows a similar picture to the Yin and Yang transformation in ancient Chinese Tai Ji wisdom.

Abstract
We propose an innovative preparation method, namely, a two-step pyrolysis process, to synthesize Zn-Co bimetallic catalysts with excellent hydrogen evolution performance. In the synthesized Zn1Co1-SNC catalyst, there exists a strong interaction between Zn and Co, along with synergistic effects with S/N atoms, collectively promoting the stability of the catalyst structure. Experimental results demonstrate that the overpotential of this catalyst at 10 mA cm-2 current density is only 49 mV, and it maintains excellent hydrogen evolution performance even after 5000 cycles.

Abstract
Single-atom metal-doped M-N-C (M═Fe, Co, Mn, or Ni) catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). However, their performance still has a large gap considering the demand for their practical applications. This study reports a high-performance dual single-atom doped carbon catalyst (HfCo-N-C), which is prepared by pyrolyzing Co and Hf co-doped ZIF-8 . Co and Hf are atomically dispersed in the carbon framework and coordinated with N to form Co-N4 and Hf-N4 active moieties. The synergetic effect between Co-N4 and Hf-N4 significantly enhance the catalytic activity and durability of the catalyst. In an acidic medium, the ORR half-wave potential (E1/2) of the catalyst is up to 0.82 V , which is much higher than that of the Co-N-C catalyst without Hf co-doping (0.80 V). The kinetic current density of the catalyst is up to 2.49 A cm-2 at 0.85 V , which is 1.74 times that of the Co-N-C catalyst without Hf co-doping. Moreover, the catalyst exhibits excellent cathodic performance in single proton exchange membrane fuel cells and Zn-air batteries. Furthermore, Hf co-doping can effectively suppress the formation of H2O2, resulting in significantly improved stability and durability.

Abstract
Use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) has become a popular strategy for tuning activity and selectivity toward specific pathways. However, conventional SAC synthesis methods require high temperatures and pressures, complicated procedures, and expensive equipment. Recently, underpotential deposition (UPD) has been investigated as a promising alternative, yielding high-loading SAC electrodes under ambient conditions and within minutes. Yet only few studies have employed UPD to synthesize SACs, and all have been limited to UPD of Cu. In this work, a flexible UPD approach for synthesis of mono- and bi-metallic Cu, Fe, Co, and Ni SACs directly on oxidized, commercially available carbon electrodes is reported. The UPD mechanism is investigated using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and, finally, the catalytic performance of a UPD-synthesized Co SAC is assessed for electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia. The findings expand upon the usefulness and versatility of UPD for SAC synthesis, with hopes of enabling future research toward realization of fast, reliable, and fully electrified SAC synthesis processes.

Abstract
Dual-atom site catalysts (DASCs) have sparked considerable interest in heterogeneous photocatalysis as they possess the advantages of excellent photoelectronic activity, photostability, and high carrier separation efficiency and mobility. The DASCs involved in these important photocatalytic processes, especially in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), N2/nitrate reduction, etc., have been extensively investigated in the past few years. In this review, we highlight the recent progress in DASCs that provides fundamental insights into the photocatalytic conversion of small molecules. The controllable preparation and characterization methods of various DASCs are discussed. Subsequently, the reaction mechanisms of the formation of several important molecules (hydrogen, hydrocarbons and ammonia) on DASCs are introduced in detail, in order to probe the relationship between DASCs's structure and photocatalytic activity. Finally, some challenges and outlooks of DASCs in the photocatalytic conversion of small molecules are summarized and prospected. We hope that this review can provide guidance for in-depth understanding and aid in the design of efficient DASCs for photocatalysis.

Abstract
Bimetal atom catalysts (BACs) hold significant potential for various applications as a result of the synergistic interaction between adjacent metal atoms. This interaction leads to improved catalytic performance, while simultaneously maintaining high atomic efficiency and exceptional selectivity, similar to single atom catalysts (SACs). Bimetallic site catalysts (M2β12) supported by β12-borophene were developed as catalysts for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR). The research on density functional theory (DFT) demonstrates that M2β12 exhibits exceptional stability, conductivity, and catalytic activity. Investigating the most efficient reaction pathway for CO2RR by analyzing the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) during potential determining steps (PDS) and choosing a catalyst with outstanding catalytic performance for CO2RR. The overpotential required for Fe2β12 and Ag2β12 to generate CO is merely 0.05 V. This implies that the conversion of CO2 to CO can be accomplished with minimal additional voltage. The overpotential values for Cu2β12 and Ag2β12 during the formation of HCOOH were merely 0.001 and 0.07 V, respectively. Furthermore, the Rh2β12 catalyst exhibits a relatively low overpotential of 0.51 V for CH3OH and 0.65 V for CH4. The Fe2β12 produces C2H4 through the *CO-*CO pathway, while Ag2β12 generates CH3CH2OH via the *CO-*CHO coupling pathway, with remarkably low overpotentials of 0.84 and 0.60 V, respectively. The study provides valuable insights for the systematic design and screening of electrocatalysts for CO2RR that exhibit exceptional catalytic performance and selectivity.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting for sustainable hydrogen and oxygen production have shown enormous potentials. However, this method needs low-cost and highly active catalysts. Traditional nano catalysts, while effective, have limits since their active sites are mostly restricted to the surface and edges, leaving interior surfaces unexposed in redox reactions. Single atom catalysts (SACs), which take advantage of high atom utilization and quantum size effects, have recently become appealing electrocatalysts. Strong interaction between active sites and support in SACs have considerably improved the catalytic efficiency and long-term stability, outperforming their nano-counterparts. This review's first section examines the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER). In the next section, SACs are categorized as noble metal, non-noble metal, and bimetallic synergistic SACs. In addition, this review emphasizes developing methodologies for effective SAC design, such as mass loading optimization, electrical structure modulation, and the critical role of support materials. Finally, Carbon-based materials and metal oxides are being explored as possible supports for SACs. Importantly, for the first time, this review opens a discussion on waste-derived supports for single atom catalysts used in electrochemical reactions, providing a cost-effective dimension to this vibrant research field. The well-known design techniques discussed here may help in development of electrocatalysts for effective water splitting.

Abstract
We present the preparation of CoCu bimetallic nanoclusters (Co@Cu-BNCs) by a hydrothermal and one-step pyrolysis method to build a colorimetric and electrochemical dual-mode sensing platform for uric acid (UA) detection. In the presence of H2O2, Co@Cu-BNCs with peroxidase-mimicking activity may convert colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue-colored oxidized TMB (oxTMB). However, due to the inhibitory effect of uric acid (UA) on the oxidation process of TMB, the characteristic absorption peak intensity of oxTMB decreased when UA was added into a mixed solution. In this approach, a colorimetric assay platform for the detection of UA was demonstrated, with a linear range of 0.1-195 μM and a low limit of detection of 0.06 μM (S/N ratio of 3). In addition, an even wider detection range is achieved in the electrochemical method, due to the pronounced electrocatalytic activity of Co@Cu-BNCs. The surface of the glassy carbon electrode was modified with Co@Cu-BNCs to build an electrochemical sensor for detecting UA. The sensor achieves a wider linear range from 2 to 1000 μM and a limit of detection of 0.61 μM (S/N ratio of 3). Moreover, the detection of UA in a human serum sample showed satisfactory results. The results proved that the colorimetric and electrochemical dual-mode detection platform was sensitive, convenient and accurate.

Abstract
Owing to the remarkable catalytic attributes, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have exhibited promising application prospects as the substitutes of natural enzymes. However, the low loading amount of atomic sites on typical SACs (no more than 5 wt %) significantly restricts their increased capability. Hereby, a layer growth inhibitor protocol was attempted to optimize anchoring isolated Co atoms efficiently on ultrathin monolayer layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Superior to the conventional multiple-layer LDHs, the synthesized monolayer LDHs (7.29 nm-thick) served as the emerging support for dispersing substantial active sites and featured a dramatic loading content of 32.5 wt %. Through X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the atomically dispersed active centers on Co SACs were verified as Co-N4 moieties. The results of radical scavenger experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that Co SACs were favorable to the high yield of reactive oxygen species originating from the decomposition of H2O2. Therefore, Co SACs functioned as a sensitive enhancer to drastically boost the luminol-H2O2 chemiluminescence intensity by ∼4713-fold, which excelled drastically over these previously reported SACs. Furthermore, Co SACs were adopted as chemiluminescent probes for the quantitation of chlorothalonil, wherein a low detection limit of 49 pg mL-1 (3σ) was achieved. Additionally, the successful application in recovery trials demonstrated the favorable feasibility of Co SACs. The facile layer growth inhibitor protocol affords SACs with improved loading properties and even superior catalytic performances for sensitive luminescent bioassays.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a new class of functional nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, have recently made great achievements and have become potential substitutes for natural enzymes. In particular, single-atomic nanozymes (Sazymes) have received intense research focus on account of their versatile enzyme-like performances and well-defined spatial configurations of single-atomic sites. More recently, dual-atomic-site catalysts (DACs) containing two neighboring single-atomic sites have been explored as next-generation nanozymes, thanks to the flexibility in tuning active sites by various combinations of two single-atomic sites. This minireview outlines the research progress of DACs in their synthetic approaches and the latest characterization techniques highlighting a series of representative examples of DAC-based nanozymes. In the final remarks, we provide current challenges and perspectives for developing DAC-based nanozymes as a guide for researchers who would be interested in this exciting field.

Abstract
Vinylsilanes are valuable building blocks and important structural units in organic chemistry. Herein, catalytic alkyne hydrosilylation was reported to be promoted by a porphyrin metal-organic framework with the incorporation of Pd nanoparticles (Pd@Ir-PCN-222). Catalytic results showed that Pd@Ir-PCN-222 displayed high catalytic efficiency, giving rise to the E isomer vinylsilane with an excellent turnover frequency (TOF) of 2564 h-1. The mechanism studies revealed that the enhancement of the catalytic activity originated from the cooperation between iridium porphyrin and the Pd nanoparticle in confined spaces. The iridium porphyrin was prone to absorb and condense the hydrosilane and alkyne in the inner cavities of Ir-PCN-222, not only accelerating the reaction but also promoting the Pd nanoparticle to activate the Si-H and C≡C bonds of hydrosilane and alkyne, respectively.

Abstract
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have been a new frontier in heterogeneous catalysis due to their unique intrinsic properties. The synergy between dual atoms provides flexible active sites, promising to enhance performance and even catalyze more complex reactions. However, precisely regulating active site structure and uncovering dual-atom metal interaction remain grand challenges. In this review, we clarify the significance of the inter-metal interaction of DACs based on the understanding of active center structures. Three diatomic configurations are elaborated, including isolated dual single-atom, N/O-bridged dual-atom, and direct dual-metal bonding interaction. Subsequently, the up-to-date progress in heterogeneous oxidation reactions, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions, electrocatalytic reactions, and photocatalytic reactions are summarized. The structure-activity relationship between DACs and catalytic performance is then discussed at an atomic level. Finally, the challenges and future directions to engineer the structure of DACs are discussed. This review will offer new prospects for the rational design of efficient DACs toward heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Synthesizing dual single-atom catalysts (DSACs) with atomically isolated metal pairs is a challenging task but can be an effective way to enhance the performance for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, well-defined DSACs of Co-Mn, stabilized in N-doped porous carbon polyhedra (named CoMn/NC), are synthesized using high-temperature pyrolysis of a Co/Mn-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework. The atomically isolated Co-Mn site in CoMn/NC is recognized by combining microscopic as well as spectroscopic techniques. CoMn/NC exhibited excellent ORR activities in alkaline (E1/2 = 0.89 V) as well as in acidic (E1/2 = 0.82 V) electrolytes with long-term durability and enhanced methanol tolerance. Density functional theory (DFT) suggests that the Co-Mn site is efficiently activating the O-O bond via bridging adsorption, decisive for the 4e- oxygen reduction process. Though the Co-Mn sites favor O2 activation via the dissociative ORR mechanism, stronger adsorption of the intermediates in the dissociative path degrades the overall ORR activity. Our DFT studies conclude that the ORR on an Co-Mn site mainly occurs via bridging side-on O2 adsorption following thermodynamically and kinetically favorable associative mechanistic pathways with a lower overpotential and activation barrier. CoMn/NC performed excellently as a cathode in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell and rechargeable Zn-air battery with high peak power densities of 970 and 176 mW cm-2, respectively. This work provides the guidelines for the rational design and synthesis of nonprecious DSACs for enhancing the ORR activity as well as the robustness of DSACs and suggests a design of multifunctional robust electrocatalysts for energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Distinguishing themselves from nanostructured catalysts, single-atom catalysts (SACs) typically consist of positively charged single metal and coordination atoms without any metal-metal bonds. Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have emerged as extended family members of SACs in recent years. Both SACs and DACs possess characteristics that combine both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, offering advantages such as uniform active sites and adjustable interactions with ligands, while also inheriting the high stability and recyclability associated with heterogeneous catalyst systems. They offer numerous advantages and are extensively utilized in the field of electrocatalysis, so they have emerged as one of the most prominent material research platforms in the direction of electrocatalysis. This review provides a comprehensive review of SACs and DACs in the field of electrocatalysis: encompassing economic production, elucidating electrocatalytic reaction pathways and associated mechanisms, uncovering structure-performance relationships, and addressing major challenges and opportunities within this domain. Our objective is to present novel ideas for developing advanced synthesis strategies, precisely controlling the microstructure of catalytic active sites, establishing accurate structure-activity relationships, unraveling potential mechanisms underlying electrocatalytic reactions, identifying more efficient reaction paths, and enhancing overall performance in electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Dual-Active-Sites Single-Atom catalysts (DASs SACs) are not only the improvement of SACs but also the expansion of dual-atom catalysts. The DASs SACs contains dual active sites, one of which is a single atomic active site, and the other active site can be a single atom or other type of active site, endowing DASs SACs with excellent catalytic performance and a wide range of applications. The DASs SACs are categorized into seven types, including the neighboring mono metallic DASs SACs, bonded DASs SACs, non-bonded DASs SACs, bridged DASs SACs, asymmetric DASs SACs, metal and nonmetal combined DASs SACs and space separated DASs SACs. Based on the above classification, the general methods for the preparation of DASs SACs are comprehensively described, especially their structural characteristics are discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the in-depth assessments of DASs SACs for variety applications including electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis and photocatalysis are provided, as well as their unique catalytic mechanism are addressed. Moreover, the prospects and challenges for DASs SACs and related applications are highlighted. The authors believe the great expectations for DASs SACs, and this review will provide novel conceptual and methodological perspectives and exciting opportunities for further development and application of DASs SACs.

Enhancing catalytic performance of Fe and Mo co-doped dual single-atom catalysts with dual-enzyme activities for sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide and uric acid. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1273:341543. [PMID: 37423669 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent catalytic activity, but the improvement of atomic loading which means that weight fraction (wt%) of metal atom was still facing great challenges. In this work, iron and molybdenum co-doped dual single-atom catalysts (Fe/Mo DSACs) was prepared for the first time by using the soft template sacrifice strategy, which improved significantly the atomic load and exhibited both the oxidase-like (OXD) activity and the dominant peroxidase-like (POD) activity. Further experiments reveal that Fe/Mo DSACs can not only catalyze O2 to generate O2•- and 1O2, but also catalyze H2O2 to generate a large number of •OH, which caused 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to be oxidized to oxTMB, accompanied by the color changing from colorless to blue. The steady-state kinetic test showed that Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) values and the maximum initial velocity values (Vmax) of the POD activity of Fe/Mo DSACs were 0.0018 mM and 12.6 × 10-8 M s-1, respectively. The corresponding catalytic efficiency was tens of times higher than Fe SACs and Mo SACs, which proves that the synergistic effect between Fe and Mo has significantly improved the catalytic ability. Based on the excellent POD activity of Fe/Mo DSACs, a colorimetric sensing platform combined with TMB was proposed to realize the sensitive detection of H2O2 and uric acid (UA) in a wide range, with limits of detection as low as 0.13 and 0.18 μM, respectively. Finally, accurate and reliable results were obtained in the detection of H2O2 in cells, and of UA in human serum and urine.

Atomic Insights into Synergistic Nitroarene Hydrogenation over Nanodiamond-Supported Pt 1 -Fe 1 Dual-Single-Atom Catalyst. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202307853.

Abstract
Fundamental understanding of the synergistic effect of bimetallic catalysts is of extreme significance in heterogeneous catalysis, but a great challenge lies in the precise construction of uniform dual-metal sites. Here, we develop a novel method for constructing Pt1 -Fe1 /ND dual-single-atom catalyst, by anchoring Pt single atoms on Fe1 -N4 sites decorating a nanodiamond (ND) surface. Using this catalyst, the synergy of nitroarenes selective hydrogenation is revealed. In detail, hydrogen is activated on the Pt1 -Fe1 dual site and the nitro group is strongly adsorbed on the Fe1 site via a vertical configuration for subsequent hydrogenation. Such synergistic effect decreases the activation energy and results in an unprecedented catalytic performance (3.1 s-1 turnover frequency, ca. 100 % selectivity, 24 types of substrates). Our findings advance the applications of dual-single-atom catalysts in selective hydrogenations and open up a new way to explore the nature of synergistic catalysis at the atomic level.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective, highly catalytic active, and stable electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes is important for the development of highly efficient anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). To this end, metal oxides/hydroxides have attracted wide research interest for efficient electrocatalysts in water splitting owing to their abundance and tunable electronic properties. It is very challenging to achieve an efficient overall catalytic performance based on single metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts due to low charge mobilities and limited stability. This review is mainly focused on the advanced strategies to synthesize the multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based materials that include nanostructure engineering, heterointerface engineering, single-atom catalysts, and chemical modification. The state of the art of metal oxide/hydroxide-based heterostructures with various architectures is extensively discussed. Finally, this review provides the fundamental challenges and perspectives regarding the potential future direction of multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in industrial processes, but achieving a fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites in bimetallic catalysts at the atomic and molecular level is very challenging due to the structural complexity of the bimetallic catalysts. Comparing the structural features and the catalytic performances of different bimetallic entities will favor the formation of a unified understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships in heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts and thereby facilitate the upgrading of the current bimetallic catalysts. In this review, we will discuss the geometric and electronic structures of three representative types of bimetallic catalysts (bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) and then summarize the synthesis methodologies and characterization techniques for different bimetallic entities, with emphasis on the recent progress made in the past decade. The catalytic applications of supported bimetallic binuclear sites, bimetallic nanoclusters, and nanoparticles for a series of important reactions are discussed. Finally, we will discuss the future research directions of catalysis based on supported bimetallic catalysts and, more generally, the prospective developments of heterogeneous catalysis in both fundamental research and practical applications.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions in fine chemical industry, and the activation of H2 is the key step for hydrogenation. Catalysts play a critical role in selective hydrogenation, and some single-atom catalysts (SACs) are highly capable of activating H2 in selective hydrogenation by virtue of the maximized atom utilization and the highly uniform active sites. Therefore, more research efforts are needed for the rational design of SACs with superior H2 -activating capabilities. Herein, the research progress on H2 activation in typical hydrogenation systems (such as alkyne hydrogenation, hydroformylation, hydrodechlorination, hydrodeoxygenation, nitroaromatics hydrogenation, and polycyclic aromatics hydrogenation) is reviewed, the mechanisms of SACs for H2 activation are summarized, and the structural regulation strategies for SACs are proposed to promote H2 activation and provide schemes for the design of high-selectivity hydrogenation catalysts from the atomic scale. At the end of this review, an outlook on the opportunities and challenges for SACs to be developed for selective hydrogenation is presented.

Abstract
Hydroformylation is one of the most significant homogeneous reactions. Compared with homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts are easy to be separated from the system. However, heterogeneous catalysis faces the problems of low activity and poor chemical/regional selectivity. Therefore, there are theoretical and practical significance to develop efficient heterogeneous catalysts. SACs can be widely applied in hydroformylation in the future, due to the high atom utilization efficiency, stable active sites, easy separation, and recovery. In this review, the recent advances of SACs for hydroformylation are summarized. The regulation of microstructure affected on the reactivity, stability of SACs, and chem/regioselectivity of SACs for hydroformylation are discussed. The support effect, ligand effect, and electron effect on the performance of SACs are proposed, and the catalytic mechanism of SACs is elaborated. Finally, we summarize the current challenges in this field, and propose the design and research ideas of SACs for hydroformylation of olefins.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts have received significant attention for their ability to enable highly selective reactions. However, many reactions require more than one adjacent site to align reactants or break specific bonds. For example, breaking a C-O or O-H bond may be facilitated by a dual site containing an oxophilic element and a carbophilic or "hydrogenphilic" element that binds each molecular fragment. However, design of stable and well-defined dual-atom sites with desirable reactivity is difficult due to the complexity of multicomponent catalytic surfaces. Here, we describe a new type of dual-atom system, trimetallic dual-atom alloys, which were designed via computation of the alloying energetics. Through a broad computational screening we discovered that Pt-Cr dimers embedded in Ag(111) can be formed by virtue of the negative mixing enthalpy of Pt and Cr in Ag and the favorable interaction between Pt and Cr. These dual-atom alloy sites were then realized experimentally through surface science experiments that enabled the active sites to be imaged and their reactivity related to their atomic-scale structure. Specifically, Pt-Cr sites in Ag(111) can convert ethanol, whereas PtAg and CrAg are unreactive toward ethanol. Calculations show that the oxophilic Cr atom and the hydrogenphilic Pt atom act synergistically to break the O-H bond. Furthermore, ensembles with more than one Cr atom, present at higher dopant loadings, produce ethylene. Our calculations have identified many other thermodynamically favorable dual-atom alloy sites, and hence this work highlights a new class of materials that should offer new and useful chemical reactivity beyond the single-atom paradigm.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising for energy storage, especially in the era of carbon neutrality. Nonetheless, the sluggish kinetics of converting soluble lithium polysulfides into solid lithium sulfide impedes its development. In this work, we design Fe and Co dual single-atom moieties anchored on N-doped multilayer graphene (FeCoNGr) as a catalytic sulfur cathode host for Li-S batteries. With an efficient catalytic role in converting soluble lithium polysulfides into solid Li2S, the FeCoNGr-based Li-S cell demonstrates a capacity of 878.7 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C and retains 77.4% of the initial value after 100 cycles. The first and retained capacities are ∼1.7 and ∼1.8 times those of the NGr (without single atoms)-based cell, respectively. Theoretical calculations reveal that the Fe-N4 moiety has a higher binding energy toward low-order lithium polysulfides, while the Co-N4 moiety has a higher binding energy toward high-order lithium polysulfides. The efficient catalytic conversion of soluble lithium polysulfides into solid lithium sulfides of FeCoNGr plays important roles in outperforming NGr. This work enhances our knowledge on the tandem role of dual single-atom moieties and confirmed the high catalytic efficiency of single-atom catalysts in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Removal and detoxification of chlorobenzenes have attracted public concern, multiple active sites single-atom Fe and single-atom Ni composite nitrogen-doped graphene (FeSA/CN/NiSA) cathode catalyst supplied generation and adsorption capacity of hydrogen and hydroxyl active species. M-O active sites coupled with M-N improved activity and stability of the catalyst, and decreased bond breaking energy barrier of C-Cl, FeSA/CN/NiSA-NiF cathode showed superior removal performance of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (monochlorobenzene: 98.9%, dichlorobenzene: over 90.4%, trichlorobenzene: over 85.7%) and selectivity. Chlorobenzenes were dechlorinated under low stepwise voltage on the FeSA/CN/NiSA-NiF cathode. The efficiencies of stepwise dechlorination reactions of chlorobenzenes were all above 76%, Faradaic efficiencies were above 71.8%. The FeSA/CN/NiSA-NiF cathode was not sensitive to the molecular structure and has overcome the high energy barrier of chlorobenzenes molecular structure. The electrophilic attack of H*ads formed hyperconjugation bond weakened the possibility of the Cl atom forming a bond with the benzene ring, and was favorable for the Cl position to achieve single-electron transfer dechlorination. The selective stepwise dechlorination degradation of chlorobenzenes by FeSA/CN/NiSA-NiF cathode with multiple active sites demonstrated the advantaged performance of M-O and M-N active sites coupled synergistic in electrochemical reduction and degradation, providing a strategy for product-selective degradation of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons.

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 simultaneous presence of two active metal centres in diatomic catalysts (DACs) leads to the occurrence of specific interactions between active sites. Such interactions, referred to as long-range interactions (LRIs), play an important role in determining the rate and selectivity of a reaction. The optimal combination of metal centres must be determined to achieve the targeted efficiency. To date, various types of DACs have been synthesised and applied in electrochemistry. However, LRIs have not been systematically summarised. Herein, the regulation, mechanism, and electrocatalytic applications of LRIs are comprehensively summarised and discussed. In addition to the basic information above, the challenges, opportunities, and future development of LRIs in DACs are proposed in order to present an overall view and reference for future research.

Abstract
Atom-by-atom control of a catalyst surface is a central yet challenging topic in heterogeneous catalysis, which enables precisely confined adsorption and oriented approach of reactant molecules. Here, exposed surfaces with either consecutive Pd trimers (Pd3) or isolated Pd atoms (Pd1) are architected for Pd2Ga intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) using reactive metal-support interaction (RMSI). At elevated temperatures under hydrogen, in situ atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy directly visualizes the refacetting of Pd2Ga NPs from energetically favorable (013)/(020) facets to (011)/(002). Infrared spectroscopy and acetylene hydrogenation reaction complementarily confirm the evolution from consecutive Pd3 to Pd1 sites of Pd2Ga catalysts with the concurrent fingerprinting CO adsorption and featured reactivities. Through theoretical calculations and modeling, we reveal that the restructured Pd2Ga surface results from the preferential arrangement of additionally reduced Ga atoms on the surface. Our work provides previously unidentified mechanistic insight into temperature-promoted RMSI and possible solutions to control and rearrange the surface atoms of supported intermetallic catalyst.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) have drawn significant attention in recent years due to their excellent catalytic properties. Controlling the geometry and electronic structure of this type of localized catalytic active site is of fundamental and technological importance. Dual-atom alloys (DAAs) consisting of a heterometallic dimer embedded in the surface layer of a metal host would bring increased tunability and a larger active site, as compared to SAAs. Here, we use computational studies to show that DAAs allow tuning of the active site electronic structure and reactivity. Interestingly, combining two SAAs into a dual-atom site can result in molecular-like hybridization by virtue of the free-atom-like electronic d states exhibited by many SAAs. DAAs can inherit the weak d-d interaction between dopants and hosts from the constituent SAAs, but exhibit new electronic and reactive properties due to dopant-dopant interactions in the DAA. We identify many heterometallic DAAs that we predict to be more stable than either the constituent SAAs or homometallic dual-atom sites of each dopant. We also show how both electronic and ensemble effects can modify the strength of CO adsorption. Because of the molecular-like interactions that can occur, DAAs require a different approach for tuning chemical properties compared to what is used for previous classes of alloys. This work provides insights into the unique catalytic properties of DAAs, and opens up new possibilities for tailoring localized and well-defined catalytic active sites for optimal reaction pathways.

Abstract
Ultrathin silica films are considered suitable two-dimensional model systems for the study of fundamental chemical and physical properties of all-silica zeolites and their derivatives, as well as novel supports for the stabilization of single atoms. In the present work, we report the creation of a new model catalytic support based on the surface functionalization of different silica bilayer (BL) polymorphs with well-defined atomic structures. The functionalization is carried out by means of in situ H-plasma treatments at room temperature. Low energy electron diffraction and microscopy data indicate that the atomic structure of the films remains unchanged upon treatment. Comparing the experimental results (photoemission and infrared absorption spectra) with density functional theory simulations shows that H2 is added via the heterolytic dissociation of an interlayer Si-O-Si siloxane bond and the subsequent formation of a hydroxyl and a hydride group in the top and bottom layers of the silica film, respectively. Functionalization of the silica films constitutes the first step into the development of a new type of model system of single-atom catalysts where metal atoms with different affinities for the functional groups can be anchored in the SiO2 matrix in well-established positions. In this way, synergistic and confinement effects between the active centers can be studied in a controlled manner.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit unparalleled atomic utilization and catalytic efficiency, yet it is challenging to modulate SACs with highly dispersed single-atoms, mesopores, and well-regulated coordination environment simultaneously and ultimately maximize their catalytic efficiency. Here, a generalized strategy to construct highly active ferric-centered SACs (Fe-SACs) is developed successfully via a biomineralization strategy that enables the homogeneous encapsulation of metalloproteins within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by pyrolysis. The results demonstrate that the constructed metalloprotein-MOF-templated Fe-SACs achieve up to 23-fold and 47-fold higher activity compared to those using metal ions as the single-atom source and those with large mesopores induced by Zn evaporation, respectively, as well as up to a 25-fold and 1900-fold higher catalytic efficiency compared to natural enzymes and natural-enzyme-immobilized MOFs. Furthermore, this strategy can be generalized to a variety of metal-containing metalloproteins and enzymes. The enhanced catalytic activity of Fe-SACs benefits from the highly dispersed atoms, mesopores, as well as the regulated coordination environment of single-atom active sites induced by metalloproteins. Furthermore, the developed Fe-SACs act as an excellent and effective therapeutic platform for suppressing tumor cell growth. This work advances the development of highly efficient SACs using metalloproteins-MOFs as a template with diverse biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Defect engineering of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is important for improving electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. Herein, a facile and scalable atomic-level di-defect strategy over thermodynamically stable VSe2 nanoflakes, yielding attractive improvements in the electrocatalytic HER performance over a wide electrolyte pH range is reported. The di-defect configuration with controllable spatial relation between single-atom (SA) V defects and single Se vacancy defects effectively triggers the electrocatalytic HER activity of the inert VSe2 basal plane. When employed as a cathode, this di-defects decorated VSe2 electrocatalyst requires overpotentials of 67.2, 72.3, and 122.3 mV to reach a HER current density of 10 mA cm-2 under acidic, alkaline, and neutral conditions, respectively, which are superior to most previously reported non-noble metal HER electrocatalysts. Theoretical calculations reveal that the reactive microenvironment consists of two adjacent SA Mo atoms with two surrounding symmetric Se vacancies, yielding optimal water dissociation and hydrogen desorption kinetics. This study provides a scalable strategy for improving the electrocatalytic activity of other TMDCs with inert atoms in the basal plane.

Abstract
In recent years, some experiments and theoretical work have pointed out that diatomic catalysts not only retain the advantages of monoatomic catalysts, but also introduce a variety of interactions, which exceed the theoretical limit of catalytic performance and can be applied to many catalytic fields. Here, the interaction between adjacent metal atoms in diatomic catalysts is elaborated: synergistic effect, spacing enhancement effect (geometric effect), and electronic effect. With regard to the classification and characterization of various new diatomic catalysts, diatomic catalysts are classified into four categories: heteronuclear/homonuclear, with/without carbon carriers, and their characterization measures are introduced and explained in detail. In the aspect of preparation of diatomic catalysts, the widely used atomic layer deposition method, metal-organic framework derivative method, and simple ball milling method are introduced, with emphasis on the formation mechanism of diatomic catalysts. Finally, the effective control strategies of four diatomic catalysts and the key applications of diatomic catalysts in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and other catalytic fields are given.

Abstract
Single-atom site catalysts (SACs) can maximize the utilization of active metal species and provide an attractive way to regulate the activity and selectivity of catalytic reactions. The adjustable coordination configuration and atomic structure of SACs enable them to be an ideal candidate for revealing reaction mechanisms in various catalytic processes. The minimum use of metals and relatively tight anchoring of the metal atoms significantly reduce leaching and environmental risks. Additionally, the unique physicochemical properties of single atom sites endow SACs with superior activity in various catalytic processes for environmental remediation (ER). Generally, SACs are burgeoning and promising materials in the application of ER. However, a systematic and critical review on the mechanism and broad application of SACs-based ER is lacking. Herein, we review emerging studies applying SACs for different ERs, such as eliminating organic pollutants in water, removing volatile organic compounds, purifying automobile exhaust, and others (hydrodefluorination and disinfection). We have summarized the synthesis, characterization, reaction mechanism and structural-function relationship of SACs in ER. In addition, the perspectives and challenges of SACs for ER are also analyzed. We expect that this review can provide constructive inspiration for discoveries and applications of SACs in environmental catalysis in the future.

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
Atomically dispersed metal catalysts have triggered great interest in the field of catalysis owing to their unique features. Isolated single or few metal atoms can be anchored on substrates via chemical bonding or space confinement to maximize atom utilization efficiency. The key challenge lies in precisely regulating the geometric and electronic structure of the active metal centers, thus significantly influencing the catalytic properties. Although several reviews have been published on the preparation, characterization, and application of single-atom catalysts (SACs), the comprehensive understanding of SACs, dual-atom catalysts (DACs), and atomic clusters has never been systematically summarized. Here, recent advances in the engineering of local environments of state-of-the-art SACs, DACs, and atomic clusters for enhanced catalytic performance are highlighted. Firstly, various synthesis approaches for SACs, DACs, and atomic clusters are presented. Then, special attention is focused on the elucidation of local environments in terms of electronic state and coordination structure. Furthermore, a comprehensive summary of isolated single and few atoms for the applications of thermocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis is provided. Finally, the potential challenges and future opportunities in this emerging field are presented. This review will pave the way to regulate the microenvironment of the active site for boosting catalytic processes.

Abstract
Selective conversion of specific functional groups to desired products is highly important but still challenging in industrial catalytic processes. The adsorption state of surface species is the key factor in modulating the conversion of functional groups, which is correspondingly determined by the uniformity of active sites. However, the non-identical number of metal atoms, geometric shape, and morphology of conventional nanometer-sized metal particles/clusters normally lead to the non-uniform active sites with diverse geometric configurations and local coordination environments, which causes the distinct adsorption states of surface species. Hence, it is highly desired to modulate the homogeneity of the active sites so that the catalytic transformations can be better confined to the desired direction. In this review, the construction strategies and characterization techniques of the uniform active sites that are atomically dispersed on various supports are examined. In particular, their unique behavior in boosting the catalytic performance in various chemical transformations is discussed, including selective hydrogenation, selective oxidation, Suzuki coupling, and other catalytic reactions. In addition, the dynamic evolution of the active sites under reaction conditions and the industrial utilization of the single-atom catalysts are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and frontiers are identified, and the perspectives on this flourishing field is provided.
