[PMID: 38688180 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.162] [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: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Atom-doped Co3O4 catalysts loaded with Ag were examined as cost-effective catalysts for methane oxidation. The synthesized Ag/Co2NiOx catalysts exhibited distinctive surface characteristics in contrast with Ag/Co3O4 and Ag/Co2CuOx catalysts prepared using a similar method. Characterization results unveiled that Ag/Co2NiOx featured a higher presence of active surface oxygen species, lattice defects, a larger surface area, and enhanced reducibility. A methane oxidation catalytic performance followed the sequence: Ag/Co2NiOx > Ag/Co3O4 > Ag/Co2CuOx. The investigation delved into methane degradation pathways on the surfaces of three catalysts, examining their behavior under both aerobic and anaerobic atmospheres through in-situ DRIFTS analysis. Furthermore, introducing Ag showed a marked positive effect on Co-Ni mixed oxide, inducing electron transfer and a more active electron system, whereas it exhibited an inverse impact within the surface of Co-Cu mixed oxide. This work provides innovative perspectives on the development of forthcoming environmental catalysts.

Abstract
As a sustainable and promising approach of removing of nitrogen oxides (NOx), catalytic reduction of NOx with H2 is highly desirable with a precise understanding to the structure-activity relationship of supported catalysts. In particular, the dynamic evolution of support at microscopic scale may play a critical role in heterogeneous catalysis, however, identifying the in situ structural change of support under working condition with atomic precision and revealing its role in catalysis is still a grand challenge. Herein, we visually capture the surface lattice expansion of WO3-x support in Pt-WO3-x catalyst induced by NO in the exemplified reduction of NO with H2 using in situ transmission electron microscopy and first reveal its important role in enhancing catalysis. We find that NO can adsorb on the oxygen vacancy sites of WO3-x and favorably induce the reversible stretching of W-O-W bonds during the reaction, which can reduce the adsorption energy of NO on Pt4 centers and the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. The comprehensive studies reveal that lattice expansion of WO3-x support can tune the catalytic performance of Pt-WO3-x catalyst, leading to 20% catalytic activity enhancement for the exemplified reduction of NO with H2. This work reveals that the lattice expansion of defective support can tune and optimize the catalytic performance at the atomic scale.

Abstract
The direct conversion of methane (CH4), a main greenhouse gas, to value-added chemicals has attracted increasing attention in order to alleviate the current energy crisis and environmental concern. Nevertheless, the oriented conversion of CH4 to target product is formidably challenging due to the inertness of CH4. In this work, we demonstrate that zeolite modified by a low amount of Ga2O3 (GS-1) can serve as a highly active and stable catalyst for direct conversion to hydrogen (H2) and solid carbon. The optimal GS-1 with 0.62 wt % of Ga displays a CH4 conversion rate of 70.6 mol/gGa/h with a H2 productivity of 134 mol/gGa/h at 800 °C. Analysis on NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) suggests that the introduction of Ga2O3 can poison the acidic site of zeolite and promote the dehydrogenation of CH4. This work reports a highly active and stable catalyst for direct methane conversion, which may provide a feasible strategy for the sustainable utilization of CH4.

Abstract
The dynamic response of single-atom catalysts to a reactive environment is an increasingly significant topic for understanding the reaction mechanism at the molecular level. In particular, single atoms may experience dynamic aggregation into clusters or nanoparticles driven by thermodynamic or kinetic factors. Herein, the inherent mechanistic nuances that determine the dynamic profile during the reaction will be uncovered, including the intrinsic stability and site-migration barrier of single atoms, external stimuli (temperature, voltage, and adsorbates), and the influence of catalyst support. Such dynamic aggregation can be beneficial or deleterious on the catalytic performance depending on the optimal initial state. Those examples will be highlighted where in situ formed clusters, rather than single atoms, serve as catalytically active sites for improved catalytic performance. This is followed by the introduction of operando techniques to understand the structural evolution. Finally, the emerging strategies via confinement and defect-engineering to regulate dynamic aggregation will be briefly discussed.

Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that dynamic active centres of supported heterogeneous catalysts may, under certain conditions, be frustrated. Such out-of-equilibrium materials are expected to possess unique catalytic properties and also higher level of functionality. The latter is associated with the navigation through the free energy landscapes with energetically close local minima. The lack of common approaches to the study of out-of-equilibrium materials motivates the search for specific ones. This paper suggests a way to infer some valuable information from the interplay between the intensity of reagent supply and regularities of product formation.

Abstract
Methane as the main component in natural gas is a promising chemical raw material for synthesizing value-added chemicals, but its harsh chemical conversion process often causes severe energy and environment concerns. Photocatalysis provides an attractive path to active and convert methane into various products under mild conditions with clean and sustainable solar energy, although many challenges remain at present. In this review, recent advances in photocatalytic methane conversion are systematically summarized. As the basis of methane conversion, the activation of methane is first elucidated from the structural basis and activation path of methane molecules. The study is committed to categorizing and elucidating the research progress and the laws of the intricate methane conversion reactions according to the target products, including photocatalytic methane partial oxidation, reforming, coupling, combustion, and functionalization. Advanced photocatalytic reactor designs are also designed to enrich the options and reliability of photocatalytic methane conversion performance evaluation. The challenges and prospects of photocatalytic methane conversion are also discussed, which in turn offers guidelines for methane-conversion-related photocatalyst exploration, reaction mechanism investigation, and advanced photoreactor design.

Abstract
The excellent low-temperature oxidation performance and stability of nanogold catalysts have attracted significant interest. However, the main active source of the low-temperature oxidation of gold remains to be determined. In situ electron microscopy and mass spectrometry results show that nitrogen is oxidized, and the catalyst surface undergoes reconstruction during the process. Strain analysis of the catalyst surface and first-principles calculations show that the tensile strain of the catalyst surface affects the oxidation performance of gold catalysts by enhancing the adsorption ability and dissociation of O2. The newly formed active oxygen atoms on the gold surface act as active sites in the nitrogen oxidation reaction, significantly enhancing the oxidation ability of gold catalysts. This study provides evidence for the dissociation mechanism of oxygen on the gold surface and new design concepts for improving the oxidation activity of gold catalysts and nitrogen activation.

Abstract
Calcination plays a vital role during material preparation. However, the calcination conditions have often been determined empirically or have been based on trial and error. Herein we present a cooperative characterization approach to optimize calcination conditions by gas-cell in situ TEM in collaboration with microcantilever-based thermogravimetric analysis (cantilever-TGA) techniques. The morphological evolution of precursors under atmospheric conditions is observed with in situ TEM, and the right calcination temperature is provided by cantilever-TGA. The proposed approach successfully optimizes the calcination conditions of fragile MnO2 nanowire precursors with multiple valence products. The cantilever-TGA shows that a calcination temperature above 560 °C is required to transform the MnO2 precursor to Mn3O4 under an N2 atmosphere, but the in situ TEM indicates that the nanowire structure is destroyed within only 30 min under calcination conditions. Our method further suggests that heating the precursor at 400 °C using an H2-containing atmosphere can produce Mn3O4 nanowires with good electrical properties.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution presents a severe threat to the environment and human health. Catalytic reduction of NOx with H2 using single-atom catalysts poses considerable potential in the remediation of air pollution; however, the unfavorable process of H2 dissociation limits its practical application. Herein, we report that the in situ formation of PtTi cocatalytic sites (which are stabilized by Pt-Ti bonds) over Pt1/TiO2 significantly increases NOx conversion by reducing the energy barrier of H2 activation. We demonstrate that two H atoms of H2 molecule are absorbed by adjacent Pt atoms in Pt-O and Pt-Ti, respectively, which can promote the cleave of H-H bonds. Besides, PtTi sites facilitate the adsorption of NO molecules and further lower the activation barrier of the whole de-NOx reaction. Extending the concept to Pt1/Nb2O5 and Pd1/TiO2 systems also sees enhanced catalytic activities, demonstrating that engineering the cocatalytic sites can be a general strategy for the design of high-efficiency catalysts that can benefit environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Single-atom site catalysts (SACs) provide an ideal platform to identify the active centers, explore the catalytic mechanism, and establish the structure-property relationships, and thus have attracted increasing interests for electrocatalytic energy conversion. Substantial endeavors have been devoted to the construction of carbon-supported SACs, and their progress have been comprehensively reviewed. Compared with carbon-supported SACs, transition metal compounds (TMCs)-supported SACs are still in their infancy in the field of electrocatalysis. However, they have also aroused ever-increasing attention for driving electrocatalytic water splitting, and emerged as an indispensable class of SACs in recent years, predominately owing to their inherently structural features, such as rich anchoring sites, surface defects, and lattice vacancy. Herein, in this review, we have systematically summarized the recent advances of a variety of TMC supported SACs toward electrocatalytic water splitting. The advanced characterization techniques and theoretical analyses for identifying and monitoring the atomic structure of SACs are firstly manifested. Subsequently, the anchoring and stabilization mechanisms for TMC supported SACs are also highlighted. Thereafter, the advances of TMC supported SACs for driving water electrolysis are systematically unraveled.

Abstract
Integrating different reaction sites offers new prospects to address the difficulties in single-atom catalysis, but the precise regulation of active sites at the atomic level remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate a sodium-directed photon-induced assembly (SPA) strategy for boosting the atomic utilization efficiency of single-atom catalysts (SACs) by constructing multifarious Au sites on TiO2 substrate. Na+ was employed as the crucial cement to direct Au single atoms onto TiO2, while the light-induced electron transfer from excited TiO2 to Au(Na+) ensembles contributed to the self-assembly formation of Au nanoclusters. The synergism between plasmonic near-field and Schottky junction enabled the cascade electron transfer for charge separation, which was further enhanced by oxygen vacancies in TiO2. Our dual-site photocatalysts exhibited a nearly 2 orders of magnitude improvement in the hydrogen evolution activity under simulated solar light, with a striking turnover frequency (TOF) value of 1533 h-1 that exceeded other Au/TiO2-based photocatalysts reported. Our SPA strategy can be easily extended to prepare a wide range of metal-coupled nanostructures with enhanced performance for diverse catalytic reactions. Thus, this study provides a well-defined platform to extend the boundaries of SACs for multisite catalysis through harnessing metal-support interactions.

Abstract
Nanocrystals are of great importance in material sciences and industry. Engineering nanocrystals with desired structures and properties is no doubt one of the most important challenges in the field, which requires deep insight into atomic-scale dynamics of nanocrystals during the process. The rapid developments of in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), especially environmental TEM, reveal insights into nanocrystals to digest. According to the considerable progress based on in situ electron microscopy, a comprehensive review on nanocrystal dynamics from three aspects: nucleation and growth, structure evolution, and dynamics in reaction conditions are given. In the nucleation and growth part, existing nucleation theories and growth pathways are organized based on liquid and gas-solid phases. In the structure evolution part, the focus is on in-depth mechanistic understanding of the evolution, including defects, phase, and disorder/order transitions. In the part of dynamics in reaction conditions, solid-solid and gas-solid interfaces of nanocrystals in atmosphere are discussed and the structure-property relationship is correlated. Even though impressive progress is made, additional efforts are required to develop the integrated and operando TEM methodologies for unveiling nanocrystal dynamics with high spatial, energy, and temporal resolutions.

Advanced Strategies for Stabilizing Single-Atom Catalysts for Energy Storage and Conversion. ELECTROCHEM ENERGY R 2022. [DOI: 10.1007/s41918-022-00169-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
AbstractWell-defined atomically dispersed metal catalysts (or single-atom catalysts) have been widely studied to fundamentally understand their catalytic mechanisms, improve the catalytic efficiency, increase the abundance of active components, enhance the catalyst utilization, and develop cost-effective catalysts to effectively reduce the usage of noble metals. Such single-atom catalysts have relatively higher selectivity and catalytic activity with maximum atom utilization due to their unique characteristics of high metal dispersion and a low-coordination environment. However, freestanding single atoms are thermodynamically unstable, such that during synthesis and catalytic reactions, they inevitably tend to agglomerate to reduce the system energy associated with their large surface areas. Therefore, developing innovative strategies to stabilize single-atom catalysts, including mass-separated soft landing, one-pot pyrolysis, co-precipitation, impregnation, atomic layer deposition, and organometallic complexation, is critically needed. Many types of supporting materials, including polymers, have been commonly used to stabilize single atoms in these fabrication techniques. Herein, we review the stabilization strategies of single-atom catalyst, including different synthesis methods, specific metals and carriers, specific catalytic reactions, and their advantages and disadvantages. In particular, this review focuses on the application of polymers in the synthesis and stabilization of single-atom catalysts, including their functions as carriers for metal single atoms, synthetic templates, encapsulation agents, and protection agents during the fabrication process. The technical challenges that are currently faced by single-atom catalysts are summarized, and perspectives related to future research directions including catalytic mechanisms, enhancement of the catalyst loading content, and large-scale implementation are proposed to realize their practical applications.
Graphical Abstract
Single-atom catalysts are characterized by high metal dispersibility, weak coordination environments, high catalytic activity and selectivity, and the highest atom utilization. However, due to the free energy of the large surface area, individual atoms are usually unstable and are prone to agglomeration during synthesis and catalytic reactions. Therefore, researchers have developed innovative strategies, such as soft sedimentation, one-pot pyrolysis, coprecipitation, impregnation, step reduction, atomic layer precipitation, and organometallic complexation, to stabilize single-atom catalysts in practical applications. This article summarizes the stabilization strategies for single-atom catalysts from the aspects of their synthesis methods, metal and support types, catalytic reaction types, and its advantages and disadvantages. The focus is on the application of polymers in the preparation and stabilization of single-atom catalysts, including metal single-atom carriers, synthetic templates, encapsulation agents, and the role of polymers as protection agents in the manufacturing process. The main feature of polymers and polymer-derived materials is that they usually contain abundant heteroatoms, such as N, that possess lone-pair electrons. These lone-pair electrons can anchor the single metal atom through strong coordination interactions. The coordination environment of the lone-pair electrons can facilitate the formation of single-atom catalysts because they can enlarge the average distance of a single precursor adsorbed on the polymer matrix. Polymers with nitrogen groups are favorable candidates for dispersing active single atoms by weakening the tendency of metal aggregation and redistributing the charge densities around single atoms to enhance the catalytic performance. This review provides a summary and analysis of the current technical challenges faced by single-atom catalysts and future research directions, such as the catalytic mechanism of single-atom catalysts, sufficiently high loading, and large-scale implementation.

Abstract
The controllable anchoring of multiple isolated metal atoms into a single support exhibits scientific and technological opportunities, while the synthesis of catalysts with multiple single metal atoms remains a challenge and has been rarely reported. Herein, we present a general route for anchoring up to eleven metals as highly dispersed single-atom centers on porous nitride-doped carbon supports with the developed movable type printing method, and label them as high-entropy single-atom catalysts. Various high-entropy single-atom catalysts with tunable multicomponent are successfully synthesized with the same method by adjusting only the printing templates and carbonization parameters. To prove utility, quinary high-entropy single-atom catalysts (FeCoNiCuMn) is investigated as oxygen reduction reaction catalyst with much more positive activity and durability than commercial Pt/C catalyst. This work broadens the family of single-atom catalysts and opens a way to investigate highly efficient single-atom catalysts with multiple compositions. It is challenging to integrate multi-single metal atoms into one support. In this work, the authors demonstrate the production of high-entropy single-atom catalysts via a movable typing method, which enables the anchor up to eleven metals as highly dispersed single-atom active centers on the carbon support for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Abstract
Transition metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) are of immense interest, but how exactly they are evolved upon pyrolysis of the corresponding precursors remains unclear as transition metal ions in the complex precursor undergo a series of morphological changes accompanied with changes in oxidation state as a result of the interactions with the carbon support. Herein, the authors record the complete evolution process of Co SAC during the pyrolysis a Co/Zn-containing zeolitic imidazolate framework. Aberration-corrected environmental TEM coupled with in-situ EELS is used for direct visualization of the evolution process at 200-1000 °C. Dissolution of carbon into the nanoparticles of Co is found to be key to modulating the wetting behavior of nanoparticles on the carbon support; melting of Co nanoparticles and their motion within the zeolitic architecture leads to the etching of the framework structure, yielding porous C/N support onto which Co-single atoms reside. This uniquely structured Co SAC is found to be effective for the oxidation of a series of aromatic alkanes to produce selective ketones among other possible products. The carbon dissolution and melting/sublimation-driven structural dynamics of transition metal revealed here will expand the methodology in synthesizing SACs and other high-temperature processes.

Abstract
Designing and modifying nanoporous metal foils to make them suitable for supercapacitor and catalysis is significant but challenging. In this work, CuxO nanoflakes have been successfully in situ grown on nanoporous Cu foil via a facile electrooxidation method. A Ga-assisted surface Ga-Cu alloying–dealloying is adopted to realize the formation of a nanoporous Cu layer on the flexible Cu foil. The following electrooxidation, at a constant potential, modifies the nanoporous Cu layer with CuxO nanoflakes. The optimum CuxO/Cu electrode (O-Cu-2h) delivers the maximum areal capacitance of 0.745 F cm−2 (410.27 F g−1) at 0.2 mA cm−2 and maintains 94.71% of the capacitance after 12,000 cycles. The supercapacitor consisted of the O-Cu-2h as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode has an energy density of 24.20 Wh kg−1 and power density of 0.65 kW kg−1. The potential of using the electrode as oxygen evolution reaction catalysts is also investigated. The overpotential of O-Cu-2h at 10 mA cm−2 is 394 mV; however, the long-term stability still needs further improvement.

Abstract
The catalytic activity and selectivity of metallic nanocatalysts can be controlled using physical and chemical methods to tune the exposed crystal facets. Nanoporous metals (NPMs) have unique bicontinuous structures, large specific surface areas, and high catalytic activities, and are widely used in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. However, owing to the complex surface topography of NPMs, it is difficult to regulate their exposed crystal facets over a large area. In this study, nanoporous gold (NPG) is successfully prepared with a complete regular surface that exposes the Au {111} and {100} facets through a methane pyrolysis reaction. The results of high-spatial and -temporal resolution in situ experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that C species significantly weaken the interaction between surface Au atoms with low coordination numbers and their surrounding atoms, which results in the migration and recombination of surface atoms. This research fundamentally clarifies the reconstruction mechanism of porous materials during methane pyrolysis and provides a theoretical basis for the targeted regulation of exposed NPM surfaces.

Abstract
Traditionally, chemistry has been developed to obtain thermodynamically stable and isolable compounds such as molecules and solids by chemical reactions. However, recent developments in computational chemistry have placed increased importance on studying the dynamic assembly and disassembly of atoms and molecules formed in situ. This study directly visualizes the formation and dissociation dynamics of labile dimers and trimers at atomic resolution with elemental identification. The video recordings of many homo- and hetero-metallic dimers are carried out by combining scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with elemental identification based on the Z-contrast principle. Even short-lived molecules with low probability of existence such as AuAg, AgCu, and AuAgCu are directly visualized as a result of identifying moving atoms at low electron doses. The dynamic assembly and disassembly of atoms and molecules is challenging to characterize in real time, with atomic resolution and elemental identification. Here, the authors report direct observation of more than twenty homo and hetero-metallic compounds, including labile Ag-Cu dimers and Au-Ag-Cu trimers.

Abstract
Advanced templating methods have shown precise regulation of the micro/nanostructures of inorganic catalysts. Here, on the basis of controlled self-assembly and micro-structures of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), a new bio-mass-mediated templating approach is proposed to control the growth of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The catalytic performance of the as-prepared Au NPs was evaluated using p-nitrophenol as a model pollutant. TEM, POM, zeta-potential, and rheological measurements were conducted to investigate the structure and catalytic activity of the nano-materials. By regulating the chiral nematic liquid crystal texture formed by the self-assembly of CNCs, the size of Au NPs could be adjusted at the nanoscale dimension, from 1.38 ± 0.38 nm to 4.25 ± 1.24 nm. Depending on the Au size, a high catalytic effect, namely, 98.0% conversion rate, was obtained within 30 min. The conversion rate was maintained at 97.0% even after 3-run cyclic application. Such findings demonstrate the potential of using CNCs as a bio-template to control the growth of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Alloy catalysts often show superior effectiveness in the growth of carbon nanotubes/nanofibers (CNTs/CNFs) as compared to monometallic catalysts. However, due to the lack of an understanding of the active state and active structure, the origin of the superior performance of alloy catalysts is unknown. In this work, we report an in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of the CNF growth enabled by one of the most active known alloy catalysts, i.e., Ni-Co, providing insights into the active state and the interaction between Ni and Co in the working catalyst. We reveal that the functioning catalyst is highly dynamic, undergoing constant reshaping and periodic elongation/contraction. Atomic-scale imaging combined with in situ electron energy-loss spectroscopy further identifies the active structure as a Ni-Co metallic alloy (face-centered cubic, FCC). Aided by the molecular dynamics simulation and density functional theory calculations, we rationalize the dynamic behavior of the catalyst and the growth mechanism of CNFs and provide insight into the origin of the superior performance of the Ni-Co alloy catalyst.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have recently emerged as the ultimate solution for overcoming the limitations of traditional catalysts by bridging the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Atomically dispersed identical active sites enable a maximal atom utilization efficiency, high activity, and selectivity toward the wide range of electrochemical reactions, superior structural robustness, and stability over nanoparticles due to strong atomic covalent bonding with supports. Mononuclear active sites of SACs can be further adjusted by engineering with multicomponent elements, such as introducing dual-metal active sites or additional neighbor atoms, and SACs can be regarded as multicomponent SACs if the surroundings of the active sites or the active sites themselves consist of multiple atomic elements. Multicomponent engineering offers an increased combinational diversity in SACs and unprecedented routes to exceed the theoretical catalytic performance limitations imposed by single-component scaling relationships for adsorption and transition state energies of reactions. The precisely designed structures of multicomponent SACs are expected to be responsible for the synergistic optimization of the overall electrocatalytic performance by beneficially modulating the electronic structure, the nature of orbital filling, the binding energy of reaction intermediates, the reaction pathways, and the local structural transformations. This Review demonstrates these synergistic effects of multicomponent SACs by highlighting representative breakthroughs on electrochemical conversion reactions, which might mitigate the global energy crisis of high dependency on fossil fuels. General synthesis methods and characterization techniques for SACs are also introduced. Then, the perspective on challenges and future directions in the research of SACs is briefly summarized. We believe that careful tailoring of multicomponent active sites is one of the most promising approaches to unleash the full potential of SACs and reach the superior catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability at the same time, which makes SACs promising candidates for electrocatalysts in various energy conversion reactions.

Abstract
The drive for atom efficient catalysts with carefully controlled properties has motivated the development of single atom catalysts (SACs), aided by a variety of synthetic methods, characterization techniques, and computational modeling. The distinct capabilities of SACs for oxidation, hydrogenation, and electrocatalytic reactions have led to the optimization of activity and selectivity through composition variation. However, characterization methods such as infrared and X-ray spectroscopy are incapable of direct observations at atomic scale. Advances in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) including aberration correction, monochromators, environmental TEM, and micro-electro-mechanical system based in situ holders have improved catalysis study, allowing researchers to peer into regimes previously unavailable, observing critical structural and chemical information at atomic scale. This review presents recent development and applications of TEM techniques to garner information about the location, bonding characteristics, homogeneity, and stability of SACs. Aberration corrected TEM imaging routinely achieves sub-Ångstrom resolution to reveal the atomic structure of materials. TEM spectroscopy provides complementary information about local composition, chemical bonding, electronic properties, and atomic/molecular vibration with superior spatial resolution. In situ/operando TEM directly observe the evolution of SACs under reaction conditions. This review concludes with remarks on the challenges and opportunities for further development of TEM to study SACs.

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

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is revealed based on the real-time sulfurization processes of ZnO nanowires observed via gas-cell in situ transmission electron microscopy (in situ TEM). According to the in situ TEM observations, the ZnO nanowires with a diameter of 100 nm (ZnO-100 nm) gradually transform into a core-shell nanostructure under SO2 atmosphere, and the shell formation kinetics are quantitatively determined. However, only sparse nanoparticles can be observed on the surface of the ZnO-500 nm sample, which implies a weak solid-gas interaction between SO2 and ZnO-500 nm. The QSAR model is verified with heat of adsorption (-ΔH°) and aberration-corrected TEM characterization. With the guidance of the QSAR model, the following adsorbing/sensing applications of ZnO nanomaterials are explored: (i) breakthrough experiment demonstrates the application potential of the ZnO-100 nm sample for SO2 capture/storage; (ii) the ZnO-500 nm sample features good reversibility (RSD = 1.5%, n = 3) for SO2 sensing, and the detection limit reaches 70 ppb.
