Abstract
A single-atom iron catalyst was found to exhibit exceptional reactivity in acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling for quinoline synthesis, outperforming known homogeneous and nanocatalyst systems. Detailed characterizations, including aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM, XANES, and EXAFS, jointly confirmed the presence of atomically dispersed iron centers. Various functionalized quinolines were efficiently synthesized from different amino alcohols and a range of ketones or alcohols. The iron single-atom catalyst achieved a turnover number (TON) of up to 105, far exceeding the results of current homogeneous and nanocatalyst systems. Detailed mechanistic studies verified the significance of single-atom Fe sites in the dehydrogenation process.

Nanoconfinement steers nonradical pathway transition in single atom fenton-like catalysis for improving oxidant utilization. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5314. [PMID: 38906879 PMCID: PMC11192908 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49605-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The introduction of single-atom catalysts (SACs) into Fenton-like oxidation promises ultrafast water pollutant elimination, but the limited access to pollutants and oxidant by surface catalytic sites and the intensive oxidant consumption still severely restrict the decontamination performance. While nanoconfinement of SACs allows drastically enhanced decontamination reaction kinetics, the detailed regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we unveil that, apart from local enrichment of reactants, the catalytic pathway shift is also an important cause for the reactivity enhancement of nanoconfined SACs. The surface electronic structure of cobalt site is altered by confining it within the nanopores of mesostructured silica particles, which triggers a fundamental transition from singlet oxygen to electron transfer pathway for 4-chlorophenol oxidation. The changed pathway and accelerated interfacial mass transfer render the nanoconfined system up to 34.7-fold higher pollutant degradation rate and drastically raised peroxymonosulfate utilization efficiency (from 61.8% to 96.6%) relative to the unconfined control. It also demonstrates superior reactivity for the degradation of other electron-rich phenolic compounds, good environment robustness, and high stability for treating real lake water. Our findings deepen the knowledge of nanoconfined catalysis and may inspire innovations in low-carbon water purification technologies and other heterogeneous catalytic applications.

Abstract
The direct synthesis of cyclic carbonates through oxidative carboxylation of alkenes using CO2 and O2 offers a sustainable and carbon-neutral method for CO2 utilization, which is, however, still a largely unexplored field. Here we develop a single-atom catalyst (SAC) Co-N/O-C as the earth-abundant metal catalyst for the oxidative carboxylation of styrene with CO2 and O2. Remarkably, even using the flue gas as an impure CO2 and O2 source, desired cyclic carbonate could be obtained with moderate productivity, which shows the potential for integrated CO2 capture and conversion, leveraging the high CO2 adsorption capacity of Co-N/O-C. In addition, the catalyst can be reused five times without an obvious decline in activity. Detailed characterizations and theoretical calculations elucidate the crucial role of single Co atoms in activating O2 and CO2, as well as controlling selectivity.

Abstract
The development of high-performance catalysts plays a crucial role in facilitating chemical production and reducing environmental contamination. Single-atom catalysts (SACs), a class of catalysts that bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, have garnered increasing attention because of their unique activity, selectivity, and stability in many pivotal reactions. Meanwhile, the scarcity of precious metal SACs calls for the arrival of cost-effective SACs. Cobalt, as a common non-noble metal, possesses tremendous potential in the field of single-atom catalysis. Despite their potential, reviews about single-atom Co catalysts (Co-SACs) are lacking. Accordingly, this review thoroughly summarized various preparation methodologies of Co-SACs, particularly pyrolysis; its application in the specific domain of organic synthesis and environmental remediation is discussed as well. The structure-activity relationship and potential catalytic mechanism of Co-SACs are elucidated through some representative reactions. The imminent challenges and development prospects of Co-SACs are discussed in detail. The findings and insights provided herein can guide further exploration and development in this charming area of catalyst design, leading to the realization of efficient and sustainable catalytic processes.

Abstract
Emerging techniques are revolutionizing the realm of chemical synthesis by introducing new avenues for C-H bond functionalization, which have been exploited for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural compounds, and functional materials. Allylic C-H bond oxidation of alkenes serves as possibly the most employed C-H bond functionalization reaction. However, sustainable and selective approaches remain scarce, and the majority of the existing conditions still hinge on hazardous oxidants or costly metal catalysts. In this context, we introduce a heterogeneous iron catalyst that addresses the above-mentioned concerns by showcasing the aerobic oxidation of steroids, terpenes, and simple olefins to the corresponding enone products. This novel method provides a powerful tool for the arsenal of allylic C-H bond oxidation while minimizing the environmental concerns.

Abstract
The utilization of a single-atom catalyst to break C-C bonds merges the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and presents an intriguing pathway for obtaining high-value-added products. Herein, a mild, selective, and sustainable oxidative cleavage of alkene to form oxime ether or nitrile was achieved by using atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst and hydroxylamine. Diversified substrate patterns, including symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes were demonstrated. The reaction was successfully scaled up and demonstrated good performance in recycling experiments. The hot filtration test, catalyst poisoning and radical scavenger experiment, time kinetics, and studies on the reaction intermediate collectively pointed to a radical mechanism with cobalt/acid/O2 promoted C-C bond cleavage as the key step.

Abstract
Oxidation reaction is of critical importance in chemical industry, in which the primary O2 activation step still calls for high-performance catalysts. Here, a newly developed precise locating carbonization strategy for the fabrication of 21 kinds of dual-metal single-atom catalysts with N, S co-coordinated configurations is reported. As is exemplified by CoN3 S1 /CuN4 @NC, systematical characterizations and in situ observations imply the atomic CoN3 S1 and CuN4 sites immobilized on N-doped carbon, over which the remarkable electron redistribution originating from their unsymmetrical coordination configurations. Impressively, the obtained CoN3 S1 /CuN4 @NC exhibits unprecedented capability in O2 activation and enables a spontaneous process through its dynamic configuration, significantly outperforming the CoN4 /CuN4 @NC and CoN3 S1 @NC counterparts. Hence, the CoN3 S1 /CuN4 @NC shows attractive performance in domino synthesis of natural flavone and 19 kinds of derivatives from benzyl alcohol, 2'-hydroxyacetophenone, and corresponding substituted substrates via aerobic oxidative coupling-dehydrogenation. Detailed reaction mechanisms and molecule behaviors over CoN3 S1 /CuN4 @NC are also investigated through in situ experiments and simulations.

Abstract
An unprecedented efficient protocol is developed for the oxidative cleavage of C≡C bonds in alkynes to produce structure-diverse esters using heterogeneous cobalt nanoparticles as catalyst with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. A diverse set of mono- and multisubstituted aromatic and aliphatic alkynes can be effectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding esters. Characterization analysis and control experiments indicate high surface area and pore volume, as well as nanostructured nitrogen-doped graphene-layer coated cobalt nanoparticles are possibly responsible for excellent catalytic activity. Mechanistic studies reveal that ketones derived from alkynes under oxidative conditions are formed as intermediates, which subsequently are converted to esters through a tandem sequential process. The catalyst can be recycled up to five times without significant loss of activity.

Abstract
Researchers studying heterogeneous catalysis are intrigued by single-atom catalysts (SACs) due to their ultrahigh atomic utilization. However, only a few reports on SAC-catalyzed classical organic transformations are available. In this work, atomically dispersed Pd sites are confined to a ZrO2 hybridized N-doped carbon skeleton with a smart design. UiO-66-NH2 is used to anchor Pd atoms by the coordination of the donor atoms including lone pairs of electrons and metal atoms. Subsequently, the in situ introduction of ZrO2 doping is achieved using pyrolysis, which helps improve the catalytic performance by modulating the electronic state. The Pd@ZrO2/N–C catalyst obtained from the unique design exhibits a high yield (99%) in eco-friendly media with an extremely low noble metal dosage (0.03 mol% Pd) for the Suzuki reaction. Moreover, Pd@ZrO2/N–C remains highly active after being reused several times and possesses versatility in a variety of substrates. This strategy offers a feasible alternative to designing SACs with atomically dispersed noble metals for heterogeneous reactions.

Abstract
Benzimidazole is a vital moiety found in a wide range of naturally and pharmacologically active molecules. We prepared a proficient and facile manganese oxide-supported magnesium and aluminium-based nanocomposite catalytic framework using the deposition-precipitation method and characterised it with XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and TGA techniques. Following that, the catalyst was used in the green synthesis of highly functional 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives in an ethanol-water solvent system at room temperature using various assorted benzaldehydes and o-phenylenediamine as substituents. The synthesised catalyst operates efficiently and is applicable to a wide range of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substrates, resulting in good to excellent yields. The advantages of this process include the use of a greener solvent, high yield, high conversions, no use of additives or bases, a good TOF, and a shorter reaction time.

Abstract
Heterogeneous single-site and single-atom catalysts potentially enable combining the high catalytic activity and selectivity of molecular catalysts with the easy continuous operation and recycling of solid catalysts. In recent years, covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) found increasing attention as support materials for particulate and isolated metal species. Bearing a high fraction of nitrogen sites, they allow coordinating molecular metal species and stabilizing particulate metal species, respectively. Dependent on synthesis method and pretreatment of CTFs, materials resembling well-defined highly crosslinked polymers or materials comparable to structurally ill-defined nitrogen-containing carbons result. Accordingly, CTFs serve as model systems elucidating the interaction of single-site, single-atom and particulate metal species with such supports. Factors influencing the transition between molecular and particulate systems are discussed to allow deriving tailored catalyst systems.

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
On account of the increasing demand for aromatic ketones and the challenging task of mass production in the chemical industry, efficient and sustainable catalysts are urgently needed to catalyze the conversion of aromatic alkyl compounds into high value-added products via the activation of C-H bonds. Herein, Fe single-site atoms anchored on a N-doped three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon nanostructure (Fe-MEG-800) synthesized through the self-assembly hydrothermal method are reported. Detailed characterization analyses, such as aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-HAADF-STEM), are employed to prove the isolated single Fe atom dispersing on the carbon nanostructure, along with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis confirming the Fe-N5 coordination structure. Furthermore, the 3D cross-linked structure not only provides an abundant open-framework structure for the mass transfer during the reaction but also facilitates the exposure of more active sites and promotes the reaction procedure. The as-prepared catalyst possesses high catalytic activity toward the C-H bond at room temperature. In the model reaction of oxidizing ethylbenzene (EB) to high-value acetophenone (AcPO), the conversion and the selectivity of the reaction are both over 99%. In addition, the catalyst also presents favorable stability with retaining high performance even after eight cycles. The possible adsorption sites of the reactant and oxidant are explored through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Based on the analysis of experimental and theoretical results, a possible mechanism for the oxidation of EB to AcPO involving •OH, O2•-, and 1O2 is also proposed.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome with high morbidity and mortality mediated by infection-caused oxidative stress. Early antioxidant intervention by removing excessively produced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of sepsis. However, traditional antioxidants have failed to improve patient outcomes due to insufficient activity and sustainability. Herein, by mimicking the electronic and structural characteristics of natural Cu-only superoxide dismutase (SOD5), a single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) featuring coordinately unsaturated and atomically dispersed Cu-N4 site was synthesized for effective sepsis treatment. The de novo-designed Cu-SAzyme exhibits a superior SOD-like activity to efficiently eliminate O2 •-, which is the source of multiple RONS, thus blocking the free radical chain reaction and subsequent inflammatory response in the early stage of sepsis. Moreover, the Cu-SAzyme effectively harnessed systemic inflammation and multi-organ injuries in sepsis animal models. These findings indicate that the developed Cu-SAzyme possesses great potential as therapeutic nanomedicines for the treatment of sepsis.

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.

Single atom catalysis is a prosperous and rapidly growing research field, owing to the remarkable advantages of single atom catalysts (SACs), such as maximized atom utilization efficiency, tailorable catalytic activities as well as supremely high catalytic selectivity. Synthesis approaches play crucial roles in determining the properties and performance of SACs. Over the past few years, versatile methods have been adopted to synthesize SACs. Herein, we give a thorough and up-to-date review on the progress of approaches for the synthesis of SACs, outline the general principles and list the advantages and disadvantages of each synthesis approach, with the aim to give the readers a clear picture and inspire more studies to exploit novel approaches to synthesize SACs effectively.

Abstract
M-N-C catalysts, incorporating non-precious-metal ions (e.g. M = Fe, Co) within a nitrogen-doped carbon support, have been the focus of broad interest for electrochemical O2 reduction and aerobic oxidation reactions. The present study explores the mechanistic relationship between the O2 reduction mechanism under electrochemical and chemical conditions. Chemical O2 reduction is investigated via the aerobic oxidation of a hydroquinone, in which the O-H bonds supply the protons and electrons needed for O2 reduction to water. Mechanistic studies have been conducted to elucidate whether the M-N-C catalyst couples two independent half-reactions (IHR), similar to electrode-mediated processes, or mediates a direct inner-sphere reaction (ISR) between O2 and the organic molecule. Kinetic data support the latter ISR pathway. This conclusion is reinforced by rate/potential correlations that reveal significantly different Tafel slopes, implicating different mechanisms for chemical and electrochemical O2 reduction.

Abstract
Solid supports functionalized with molecular metal catalysts combine many of the advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. A (NNN)Ru-incorporated porous organic polymer (POP-bp/bbpRuCl3) exhibited high catalytic efficiency and broad functional group tolerance in the C–C cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols to give β-alkylated secondary alcohols. This catalyst demonstrated excellent durability during successive recycling without leaching of Ru which is ascribed to the strong binding of the pincer ligands to the metal ions.

Abstract
Single-atom (SA) catalysts have attracted broad attention due to their distinctive catalytic properties in diverse reactions. Increasing the unsaturated coordination sites of active centers is a valid and challenging approach to improve the performance of such catalysts. Herein, we report an oxide compounding strategy to decrease the N coordination number of a SA Cu catalyst by reducing the thickness of the N-doped carbon carrier with a lower density of N atoms. The SA Cu catalyst with a more unsaturated N coordination structure can achieve transfer hydrogenation of alkynes with good activity and selectivity, which is disabled over the common N coordinated SA Cu catalyst on pure CN. It is found that individual Cu centers coordinated by fewer N atoms can accelerate the hydrogen transfer from ammonia-borane and still leave proper adsorption sites for alkynes to realize the entire hydrogenation reaction. This work will open up new opportunities to modulate the unsaturated coordination structure of SA catalysts for creating better-performing heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective, highly-active and robust electrocatalysts is of vital importance to supersede noble-metal ones for both hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). Herein, a unique vanadium-mediated space confined strategy is reported to construct a composite structure involving Co/Co9S8 nanoparticles anchored on Co-N-doped porous carbon (VCS@NC) as bifunctional electrocatalysts toward HER and ORR. Benefitting from the ultrafine nanostructure, abundant Co-Nx active sites, large specific surface area and defect-rich carbon framework, the resultant VCS@NC exhibits unexceptionable HER catalytic activity, needing extremely low HER overpotentials in pH-universal media (alkaline: 117 mV, acid: 178 mV, neutral: 210 mV) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, paralleling at least 100 h catalytic durability. Notably, the VCS@NC catalyst delivers high-efficiency ORR performance in alkaline solution, accompanied with a quite high half wave potential of 0.901 V, far overmatching the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Our research opens up novel insight into engineering highly-efficient multifunctional non-precious metal electrocatalysts by a metal-mediated space-confined strategy in energy storage and conversion system.

Abstract
The goal of finding efficient and safe hydrogen storage material motivated researchers to develop several materials to fulfil the demand of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). In the past few years, several metal hydrides, complex hydrides such as borohydrides and alanates, have been researched and found efficient due to their high gravimetric and volumetric density. However, the development of these materials is still limited by their high thermodynamic stability and sluggish kinetics. One of the methods to improve the kinetics is to use catalysts. Among the known catalysts for this purpose, transition metals and their compounds are known as the leading contender. The present article reviews the d-block transition metals including Ni, Co, V, Ti, Fe and Nb as catalysts to boost up the kinetics of several hydride systems. Various binary and ternary metal oxides, halides and their combinations, porous structured hybrid designs and metal-based Mxenes have been discussed as catalysts to enhance the de/rehydrogenation kinetics and cycling performance of hydrogen storage systems.

Atomically dispersed M-N-C (M refers to transition metals) materials represent the most promising catalyst alternatives to the precious metal Pt for the electrochemical reduction of oxygen (ORR), yet the genuine active sites in M-N-C remain elusive. Here, we develop a two-step approach to fabricate Cu-N-C single-atom catalysts with a uniform and well-defined Cu2+-N4 structure that exhibits comparable activity and superior durability in comparison to Pt/C. By combining operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy with theoretical calculations, we unambiguously identify the dynamic evolution of Cu-N4 to Cu-N3 and further to HO-Cu-N2 under ORR working conditions, which concurrently occurs with reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ and is driven by the applied potential. The increase in the Cu+/Cu2+ ratio with the reduced potential indicates that the low-coordinated Cu+-N3 is the real active site, which is further supported by DFT calculations showing the lower free energy in each elemental step of the ORR on Cu+-N3 than on Cu2+-N4. These findings provide a new understanding of the dynamic electrochemistry on M-N-C catalysts and may guide the design of more efficient low-cost catalysts.

Abstract
As a new and popular material, single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit excellent activity, selectivity, and stability for numerous important reactions, and show great potential in heterogeneous catalysis due to their high atom utilization efficiency and the controllable characteristics of the active sites. The composition and coordination would determine the geometric and electronic structures of SACs, and thus greatly influence the catalytic performance. Based on atom economy, rational design and controllable synthesis of SACs have become central tasks in the fields of low-cost and green catalysis. Herein, an introduction to the recent progress in the precise synthesis of SACs including the regulation of the coordination structure and the choice of different systems is presented. Thereafter, the potentials of SACs in different applications are comprehensively summarized and discussed. Furthermore, a detailed discussion of the recent developments regarding the large-scale preparation of SACs is provided, including the major issues and prospects for industrialization. Finally, the main challenges and opportunities of rapid large-scale industrialization of SACs are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Epoxidation of bio-derived plant oils is a sustainable route to manufacturing plasticizers, additives in lubricants, and other chemicals. The traditional synthetic approaches suffer from the employment of corrosive mineral acid or expensive peroxides (e.g., H2O2). In this work, we report the epoxidation of plant oils using O2 as the terminal oxidant catalyzed by Co-N-C/SiO2 single-atom catalyst. The single-atom dispersion of cobalt is confirmed by high-angle annular dark field-STEM and x-ray absorption fine structure techniques. In the epoxidation of methyl oleate under mild reaction conditions (35 °C, 0.1 MPa O2), 99% selectivity to the desired product is achieved at full conversion. Even for crude oils, Co-N-C/SiO2 is also effective and good yields of the corresponding epoxides are obtained. In addition, the catalyst is easily recovered and can be reused five times without obvious decay in catalytic activity/selectivity. A superoxide radical involved reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of kinetic study and EPR experiment.
