Abstract
Designing highly active and stable catalytic sites is often challenging due to the complex synthesis procedure and the agglomeration of active sites during high-temperature reactions. Here, we report a facile two-step method to synthesize Pt clusters confined by In-modified ZSM-5 zeolite. In-situ characterization confirms that In is located at the extra-framework position of ZSM-5 as In+, and the Pt clusters are stabilized by the In-ZSM-5 zeolite. The resulting Pt clusters confined in In-ZSM-5 show excellent propane conversion, propylene selectivity, and catalytic stability, outperforming monometallic Pt, In, and bimetallic PtIn alloys. The incorporation of In+ in ZSM-5 neutralizes Brønsted acid sites to inhibit side reactions, as well as tunes the electronic properties of Pt clusters to facilitate propane activation and propylene desorption. The strategy of combining precious metal clusters with metal cation-exchanged zeolites opens the avenue to develop stable heterogeneous catalysts for other reaction systems.

Abstract
Catalyst systems populated by high-density single atoms are crucial for improving catalytic activity and selectivity, which can potentially maximize the industrial prospects of heterogeneous single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, achieving high-loading SACs with metal contents above 10 wt% remains challenging. Here we describe a general negative pressure annealing strategy to fabricate ultrahigh-loading SACs with metal contents up to 27.3-44.8 wt% for 13 different metals on a typical carbon nitride matrix. Furthermore, our approach enables the synthesis of high-entropy single-atom catalysts (HESACs) that exhibit the coexistence of multiple metal single atoms with high metal contents. In-situ aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM (AC-STEM) combined with ex-situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) demonstrate that the negative pressure annealing treatment accelerates the removal of anionic ligand in metal precursors and boosts the bonding of metal species with N defective sites, enabling the formation of dense N-coordinated metal sites. Increasing metal loading on a platinum (Pt) SAC to 41.8 wt% significantly enhances the activity of propane oxidation towards liquid products, including acetone, methanol, and acetic acid et al. This work presents a straightforward and universal approach for achieving many low-cost and high-density SACs for efficient catalytic transformations.

Synthesis of Ordered Mesoporous Molecular Sieve-Supported Cobalt Catalyst via Organometallic Complexation for Propane Non-Oxidative Dehydrogenation. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:1132.

Abstract
Co-based catalysts have shown great promise for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reactions due to their merits of environmental friendliness and low cost. In this study, ordered mesoporous molecular sieve-supported CoOx species (CoOx/Al-SBA-15 catalyst) were prepared by one-step organometallic complexation. The catalysts show worm-like morphology with regular straight-through mesoporous pores and high external specific surface area. These typical features can substantially enhance the dispersion of CoOx species and mass transfer of reactants and products. Compared with the conventional impregnation method, the 10CSOC (10 wt.% Co/Al-SBA-15 prepared by the organometallic complexation method) sample presents a smaller CoOx size and higher Co2+/Co3+ ratio. When applied to PDH reaction, the 10CSOC delivers higher propane conversion and propylene selectivity. Under the optimal conditions (625 °C and 4500 h-1), 10CSOC achieves high propane conversion (43%) and propylene selectivity (83%). This is attributed to the smaller and better dispersion of CoOx nanoparticles, more suitable acid properties, and higher content of Co2+ species. This work paves the way for the rational design of high-performance catalysts for industrially important reactions.

Abstract
In this study, a PtSn/Al2O3 catalyst with bimetallic uniform distribution in the sphere was synthesized. The PDH performance and characterization analyses, such as with FTIR, XPS, and NH3-TPD, were investigated. The effects of acid on the PDH performance were analyzed. Citric acid (CA) acted as a competing adsorbent in the preparation process of the PtSn/Al2O3 catalyst to synthesize the uniform catalyst. Water washing and alkali-treated samples were also studied. SEM line scanning revealed that increased the apparent concentration of Pt metal from 0.23 to 0.30 with citric acid. In contrast to the fresh PtSn/Al2O3 catalyst, the addition of citric acid increased the PDH selectivity from 74% to 93%. After alkali or water washing treatments, the catalyst's selectivity further increased to 96%. Strong acid sites promoted the breaking of C-C bonds during the PDH reaction, resulting in more methane and ethylene byproducts, and decreased catalyst selectivity for fresh PtSn/Al2O3. From the PDH reaction thermodynamic analysis, a relatively sub-atmospheric pressure environment with a lower propane pressure could be the reasonable choice.

Abstract
The catalytic dehydrogenation of light alkanes is key to transform low-cost hydrocarbons to high value-added chemicals. Although Pt is extremely efficient at catalyzing this reaction, it suffers from coke formation that deactivates the catalyst. Dopants such as Sn are widely used to increase the stability and lifetime of Pt. In this work, the dehydrogenation reaction of ethane catalyzed by Pt3 and Pt2X (X=Si, Ge, Sn, P and Al) nanocatalysts has been studied computationally by means of density functional calculations. Our results show how the presence of dopants in the nanocluster structure affects its electronic properties and catalytic activity. Exploration of the potential energy surfaces show that non-doped catalyst Pt3 present low selectivity towards ethylene formation, where acetylene resulting from double dehydrogenation reaction will be obtained as a side product (in agreement with the experimental evidence). On the contrary, the inclusion of Si, Ge, Sn, P or Al as dopant agents implies a selectivity enhancement, where acetylene formation is not energetically favoured. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of such dopant elements for the design of Pt-based catalysts on ethane dehydrogenation.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) serves as a pivotal intentional technique to produce propylene. The stability of PDH catalysts is generally restricted by the readsorption of propylene which can subsequently undergo side reactions for coke formation. Herein, we demonstrate an ultrastable PDH catalyst by encapsulating PtIn clusters within silicalite-1 which serves as an efficient promoter for olefin desorption. The mean lifetime of PtIn@S-1 (S-1, silicalite-1) was calculated as 37317 h with high propylene selectivity of >97% at 580 °C with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 4.7 h-1. With an ultrahigh WHSV of 1128 h-1, which pushed the catalyst away from the equilibrium conversion to 13.3%, PtIn@S-1 substantially outperformed other reported PDH catalysts in terms of mean lifetime (32058 h), reaction rates (3.42 molpropylene gcat-1 h-1 and 341.90 molpropylene gPt-1 h-1), and total turnover number (14387.30 kgpropylene gcat-1). The developed catalyst is likely to lead the way to scalable PDH applications.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) has been an outstanding technique with a bright prospect, which can meet the growing global demand for propylene. However, undesired side reactions result in the deactivation of the Pt-based catalysts, which contribute to the insufficient lifetime of the catalysts. Herein, we describe a novel catalyst by encapsulating bimetallic CoCu-modified Pt species in S-1 zeolite for efficient dehydrogenation of propane, which synergizes the confinement of zeolites and the geometric and electronic effects on Pt species for enhancing the catalyst stability. The introduction of bimetallic additives efficiently promotes the dispersion of platinum and the electron transfer between Pt species and the additives, which greatly prolongs the lifetime of the catalysts. Particularly, no obvious deactivation is observed on 0.2Pt0.3Co0.5CuK@S-1 after 93 h on stream with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 5.4 h-1, revealing an ultralow deactivation constant of 0.0011 h-1 (t = 909 h). The formation rate of propylene still maintains at a high value of 407 mol gPt-1 h-1 (WHSV = 21.6 h-1) at 580 ℃ even after on pure propane stream for 42 h. The catalyst with the bimetallic CoCu-modified Pt species in S-1 zeolite reveals ultra-high activity and stability for PDH, which is ascribed to the highly dispersed Pt species and the stabilization effect of bimetallic additives on Pt species.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals with two or more carbons (C2+) is a promising strategy that cannot only mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions but also reduce the excessive dependence on fossil feedstocks. In recent years, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADCs), including single-atom catalysts (SACs), dual-atom catalysts (DACs), and single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), emerged as attractive candidates for CO2 fixation reactions due to their unique properties, such as the maximum utilization of active sites, tunable electronic structure, the efficient elucidation of catalytic mechanism, etc. This review provides an overview of significant progress in the synthesis and characterization of ADCs utilized in photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and thermocatalytic conversion of CO2 toward high-value C2+ compounds. To provide insights for designing efficient ADCs toward the C2+ chemical synthesis originating from CO2, the key factors that influence the catalytic activity and selectivity are highlighted. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities are discussed to inspire new ideas for the generation of CO2-based C2+ products over ADCs.

We present a comprehensive scale-bridging characterization approach for supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions (SCALMS) which combines lab-based X-ray microscopy, nano X-ray computed tomography (nano-CT), and correlative analytical transmission electron microscopy. SCALMS catalysts consist of low-melting alloy particles and have demonstrated high catalytic activity, selectivity, and long-term stability in propane dehydrogenation (PDH). We established an identical-location nano-CT workflow which allows us to reveal site-specific changes of Ga-Pt SCALMS before and after PDH. These observations are complemented by analytical transmission electron microscopy investigations providing information on the structure, chemical composition, and phase distribution of individual SCALMS particles. Key findings of this combined microscopic approach include (i) structural evolution of the SCALMS particles' GaOx shell, (ii) Pt segregation toward the oxide shell leading to the formation of Ga-Pt intermetallic phases, and (iii) cracking of the oxide shell accompanied by the release of liquid Ga-Pt toward the porous support.

Abstract
The fine-tuning of the geometric and electronic structures of active sites plays a crucial role in catalysis. However, the intricate entanglement between the two aspects results in a lack of interpretable design for active sites, posing a challenge in developing high-performance catalysts. Here, we find that surface reconstruction induced by phase transition in intermetallic alloys enables synergistic geometric and electronic structure modulation, creating a desired active site microenvironment for propane dehydrogenation. The resulting electron-rich four-coordinate Rh1 site in the RhGe0.5Ga0.5 intermetallic alloy can accelerate the desorption of propylene and suppress the side reaction and thus exhibits a propylene selectivity of ∼98% with a low deactivation constant of 0.002 h-1 under propane dehydrogenation at 550 °C. Furthermore, we design a computational workflow to validate the rationality of the microenvironment modulation induced by the phase transition in an intermetallic alloy.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective and anti-coking catalysts for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is crucial. Here, non-noble metal-incorporated Ni-based catalysts (Ni3M, M = Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Zr, Nb, Mo, In, Sn) were employed in the PDH process. The introduction of V, Nb, and Mo, with their strong carbon binding ability, created unique Ni-M cooperative sites, enhancing the catalytic performance. Other non-noble metals influenced the electronic structure of Ni, affecting the overall catalytic behavior. V and Nb exhibited a balanced combination of activity, selectivity, and stability, making them potential catalyst candidates. Microkinetic simulations revealed that Ni3V and Ni3Nb displayed high selectivity toward olefins with low apparent activation energies. This study emphasizes the significance of bimetallic synergy in enhancing PDH performance and provides new directions for the development of efficient alkane dehydrogenation catalyst development.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
Maintaining the stability of single-atom catalysts in high-temperature reactions remains extremely challenging because of the migration of metal atoms under these conditions. We present a strategy for designing stable single-atom catalysts by harnessing a second metal to anchor the noble metal atom inside zeolite channels. A single-atom rhodium-indium cluster catalyst is formed inside zeolite silicalite-1 through in situ migration of indium during alkane dehydrogenation. This catalyst demonstrates exceptional stability against coke formation for 5500 hours in continuous pure propane dehydrogenation with 99% propylene selectivity and propane conversions close to the thermodynamic equilibrium value at 550°C. Our catalyst also operated stably at 600°C, offering propane conversions of >60% and propylene selectivity of >95%.

Abstract
The design of efficient catalysts for direct propane dehydrogenation (PDH) to inhibit coke formation and deactivation of traditional Pt-based catalysts are challenging tasks. Herein, by exploiting the unique geometric feature and tunability of single atom catalysts (SACs), a wide range of 3d-5d transition metals anchored on the MoS2 edge in the single atom form (TM1-S4/edge) are comprehensively investigated for the PDH application by first-principles calculations, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and microkinetic modeling. Five criteria are assessed in terms of the feasibility of preparation, practical stability, feasibility of recovery after air oxidation, activity and selectivity. We identified Ru1-S4/edge SAC as the most promising candidate with activity six times higher than that of the conventional Pt(111) catalyst. Interestingly, AIMD simulations show that the motif region of the highly reactive TM1-S4/edge SACs (such as Ru, Os, Rh, and Ir) exhibits a dynamic change, with a TM-coordinated S atom tending to flutter at reaction temperatures and return to its initial position when the species is adsorbed on TMs, thereby affecting the PDH activities. In addition to identifying the potential PDH catalyst from a practical application point of view, we believe that this study also provides a comprehensive picture for the theoretical screening of low-coordination single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
The size-dependent activity of catalysts has been researched for a long time in the field of catalysis. Positively charged small Pt clusters enhance catalytic activity than bigger clusters and bulk for propane dehydrogenation. We performed DFT calculations on small Pt clusters adsorbed on silica support. The planar structure of Pt clusters is present till 4 Pt atoms, after which three-dimensional structures are observed. AIMD and DFT calculations for silica showed that it has a high surface area and thermal stability suitable to conduct dehydrogenation reactions. The adsorption of Pt cluster on silica results in the formation of directional bonds which affects the properties of the adsorbed Pt catalysts by changing the redox properties. In the bulk phase, ethane and propane molecules undergo dehydrogenation reactions with 0.133 eV atom-1 and 0.244 eV atom-1 energies, respectively. NEB calculations showed that except for Pt-2/SiO2 , all the even Pt clusters require less activation energy than the neighboring odd Pt clusters. Ethane molecule interacting with Pt-4/SiO2 , Pt-5/SiO2 , Pt-6/SiO2 , and propane with Pt-3/SiO2, Pt-4/SiO2 , Pt-5/SiO2 , Pt-6/SiO2 , follows the reverse Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism during dehydrogenation, whereas non-reverse Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism (which requires comparatively lower activation energy) is followed for smaller Pt clusters.

Abstract
Propane Dehydrogenation is a key technology, where Pt-based catalysts have widely been investigated in industry and academia, with development exploring the use of promoters (Sn, Zn, Ga, etc.) and additives (Na, K, Ca, Si, etc.) towards improved catalytic performances. Recent studies have focused on the role of Ga promotion: while computations suggest that Ga plays a key role in enhancing catalytic selectivity and stability of PtGa catalysts through Pt-site isolation as well as morphological changes, experimental evidence are lacking because of the use of oxide supports that prevent more detailed investigation. Here, we develop a methodology to generate Pt and PtGa nanoparticles with tailored interfaces on carbon supports by combining surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) and specific thermolytic molecular precursors containing or not siloxide ligands. This approach enables the preparation of supported nanoparticles, exhibiting or not an oxide interface, suitable for state-of-the art electron microscopy and XANES characterization. We show that the introduction of Ga enables the formation of homogenously alloyed, amorphous PtGa nanoparticles, in sharp contrast to highly crystalline monometallic Pt nanoparticles. Furthermore, the presence of an oxide interface is shown to stabilize the formation of small particles, at the expense of propene selectivity loss (formation of cracking side-products, methane/ethene), explaining the use of additives such as Na, K and Ca in industrial catalysts.

Abstract
Heusler alloys (X2 YZ) can be a candidate for new catalysts as well as other intermetallic compounds. We previously found good catalytic properties of Co2 FeGe for selective hydrogenation of alkynes and developed nanoparticles of Co2 FeGe supported on SiO2 . However, the average diameter of the nanoparticles was 23 nm, which is not small enough compared to those of state-of-the-art nanoparticle catalysts. In this study, we developed SiO2 -supported Co2 FeGe nanoparticles of <10 nm in diameter. A catalytic test for selective hydrogenation of propyne indicated a partial formation of sites with low selectivity including excess Co atoms. For ammonia decomposition, enhancement of turnover frequency was achieved by reducing the particle size.

Abstract
Non-oxidative dehydrogenation of propane is a highly efficient approach for industrial preparation of propene that is commonly catalyzed by noble Pt or toxic Cr catalysts and suffers from coking. In this work, ferric catalyst confined in a zeolite framework was synthesized by a hydrothermal procedure. The isolated Fe in the framework formed distorted tetrahedra, which were beneficial for the selective dehydrogenation of propane and reached over 95 % propene selectivity and over 99 % total olefins selectivity. This catalyst had a silanol-free structure and was oxygen tolerant, hydrothermally stable, and coke free, with a deactivation constant of 0.01 h-1 . This study provided guidance for the synthesis of structural heteroatomic zeolite and efficient propane non-oxidative dehydrogenation over early transition metals.

Abstract
Intermetallic nanomaterials consist of two or more metals in a highly ordered atomic arrangement. There are many possible combinations and morphologies, and exploring their properties is an important research area. Their strict stoichiometry requirement and well-defined atom binding environment make intermetallic compounds an ideal research platform to rationally optimize catalytic performance. Making mesoporous intermetallic materials is a further advance; crystalline mesoporosity can expose more active sites, facilitate the mass and electron transfer, and provide the distinguished mesoporous nanoconfinement environment. In this Protocol, we describe how to prepare ordered mesoporous intermetallic nanomaterials with controlled compositions, morphologies/structures and phases by a general concurrent template strategy. In this approach, the concurrent template used is a hybrid of mesoporous platinum or palladium and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology-6 (KIT-6) (meso-Pt/KIT-6 or meso-Pd/KIT-6) that can be transformed by the second precursors under reducing conditions. The second precursor can either be a second metal or a metalloid/non-metal, e.g., boron/phosphorus. KIT-6 is a silica scaffold that is removed using NaOH or HF to form the mesoporous product. Procedures for example catalytic applications include the 3-nitrophenylacetylene semi-hydrogenation reaction, p-nitrophenol reduction reaction and electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction. The synthetic strategy for preparation of ordered mesoporous intermetallic nanoparticles would take almost 5 d; the physical characterization by electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry takes ~2 days and the function characterization depends on the research question, but for catalysis it takes 1-5 h.

Abstract
Harvesting recyclable ammonia (NH3) from the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate (NO3RR) offers a sustainable strategy to close the ecological nitrogen cycle from nitration contamination in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly manner. The emerging intermetallic single-atom alloys (ISAAs) are recognized to achieve the highest site density of single atoms by isolating contiguous metal atoms into single sites stabilized by another metal within the intermetallic structure, which holds promise to couple the catalytic benefits from intermetallic nanocrystals and single-atom catalysts for promoting NO3RR. Herein, ISAA In-Pd bimetallene, in which the Pd single atoms are isolated by surrounding In atoms, is reported to boost neutral NO3RR with a NH3 Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 87.2%, a yield rate of 28.06 mg h-1 mgPd-1, and an exceptional electrocatalytic stability with increased activity/selectivity over 100 h and 20 cycles. The ISAA structure induces substantially diminished overlap of Pd d-orbitals and narrowed p-d hybridization of In-p and Pd-d states around the Fermi level, resulting in a stronger NO3- adsorption and a depressed energy barrier of the potential-determining step for NO3RR. Further integrating the NO3RR catalyst into a Zn-NO3- flow battery as the cathode delivers a power density of 12.64 mW cm-2 and a FE of 93.4% for NH3 production.

Abstract
Geometrically isolated metal atoms in alloy catalysts can target efficient and selective catalysis. However, the geometric and electronic disturbance between the active atom and its neighbouring atoms, that is, diverse microenvironments, makes the active site ambiguous. Herein, we demonstrate a methodology to describe the microenvironment and determine the effectiveness of active sites in single-site alloys. A simple descriptor, degree-of-isolation, is proposed, considering both electronic regulation and geometric modulation within a PtM ensemble (M = transition metal). The catalytic performance of PtM single-site alloy is examined thoroughly using this descriptor for an industrially important reaction, propane dehydrogenation. The volcano-shaped isolation-selectivity plot reveals a Sabatier-type principle for designing selective single-site alloys. Specifically, for a single-site alloy with a high degree-of-isolation, alternation of the active centre has a great impact on tuning selectivity, validated by the outstanding consistency between experimental propylene selectivity and the computational descriptor.

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
Isolated active sites have great potential to be highly efficient and stable in heterogeneous catalysis, while enabling low costs due to the low transition metal content. Herein, we present results on the synthesis, first catalytic trials, and characterization of the Ga9Rh2 phase and the hitherto not-studied Ga3Rh phase. We used XRD and TEM for structural characterization, and with XPS, EDX we accessed the chemical composition and electronic structure of the intermetallic compounds. In combination with catalytic tests of these phases in the challenging propane dehydrogenation and by DFT calculations, we obtain a comprehensive picture of these novel catalyst materials. Their specific crystallographic structure leads to isolated Rhodium sites, which is proposed to be the decisive factor for the catalytic properties of the systems.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) show expressively enhanced activity toward diverse reactions due to maximized atomic utilization of metal sites, while their facile, universal, and massive preparation remains a pronounced challenge. Here we report a facile strategy for the preparation of SACs by use of the inherent confined space between the template and silica walls in template-occupied mesoporous silica SBA-15 (TOS). Different transition metal precursors can be introduced into the confined space readily by grinding, and during succeeding calcination single atoms are constructed in the form of M-O-Si (M = Cu, Co, Ni, and Zn). In addition to the generality, the present strategy is easy to scale up and can allow the synthesis of 10 g of SACs in one pot through ball milling. The Cu SAC has been applied for CO2 cycloaddition of epichlorohydrin, and the activity is obviously higher than the counterpart prepared without confined space and various reported Cu-containing catalysts.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis is an important class of reactions in industrial production, especially in green chemical synthesis, and environmental and organic catalysis. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as promising candidates for heterogeneous catalysis, due to their outstanding catalytic activity, high selectivity, and maximum atomic utilization efficiency. The high specific surface energy of SACs, however, results in the migration and aggregation of isolated atoms under typical reaction conditions. The controllable preparation of highly efficient and stable SACs has been a serious challenge for applications. Herein, we summarize the recent progress in the precise synthesis of SACs and their different heterogeneous catalyses, especially involving the oxidation and reduction reactions of small organic molecules. At the end of this review, we also introduce the challenges confronted by single-atom materials in heterogeneous catalysis. This review aims to promote the generation of novel high-efficiency SACs by providing an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the current development in this research field.

Abstract
In this work, we report that Pt nanoparticles confined in hollow porous silica nanospheres (Pt@HPSNs) function as highly selective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene with ammonia borane. Relative to the deep hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to ethylbenzene over the supported Pt/SiO2, Pt@HPSNs exhibit above 88% of styrene selectivity at nearly 100% of phenylacetylene conversions, and the high selectivity of Pt@HPSNs can be maintained even at high ammonia borane/phenylacetylene ratios and longer reaction time. The Pt 4f X-ray photoelectron spectrum of Pt@HPSNs shows a remarkable ∼1.5 eV shift to high binding energy, proving the nature of electron deficiency of such encapsulated Pt nanoparticles. Combined with extremely minor transfer hydrogenation of styrene to ethylbenzene when styrene as substrates, the enhanced styrene selectivity of Pt@HPSNs is ascribed to the electron deficiency of encapsulated Pt nanoparticles, which leads to the fast desorption of styrene and thus avoids deep hydrogenation.

Abstract
This study establishes a preparative route towards a model system for supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions (SCALMS) on nanostructured substrates. This model is characterized by a uniquely precise geometrical control of the gallium particle size distribution. In a SCALMS system, the Ga serves as a matrix material which can be decorated with a catalytically active material subsequently. The corresponding Ga containing precursor is spin-coated on aluminum based substrates, previously nanostructured by electrochemical anodization. The highly ordered substrates are functionalized with distinct oxide coatings by atomic layer deposition (ALD) independently from the morphology. After preparation of the metal particles on the oxide interface, the characterization of our model system in terms of its geometry parameters (droplet diameter, size distribution and population density) points to SiO2 as the best suited surface for a highly controlled geometry. This flexible model system can be functionalized with a dissolved noble metal catalyst for the application chosen.

Abstract
The direct electrochemical nitric oxide reduction reaction (NORR) is an attractive technique for converting NO into NH3 with low power consumption under ambient conditions. Optimizing the electronic structure of the active sites can greatly improve the performance of electrocatalysts. Herein, we prepare body-centered cubic RuGa intermetallic compounds (i.e., bcc RuGa IMCs) via a substrate-anchored thermal annealing method. The electrocatalyst exhibits a remarkable NH4 + yield rate of 320.6 μmol h-1 mg-1 Ru with the corresponding Faradaic efficiency of 72.3 % at very low potential of -0.2 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in neutral media. Theoretical calculations reveal that the electron-rich Ru atoms in bcc RuGa IMCs facilitate the adsorption and activation of *HNO intermediate. Hence, the energy barrier of the potential-determining step in NORR could be greatly reduced.

Abstract
Plasmonic hot carriers have the advantage of focusing, amplifying, and manipulating optical signals via electron oscillations which offers a feasible pathway to influence catalytic reactions. However, the contribution of nonmetallic hot carriers and thermal effects on the overall reactions are still unclear, and developing methods to enhance the efficiency of the catalysis is critical. Herein, we proposed a new strategy for flexibly modulating the hot electrons using a nonmetallic plasmonic heterostructure (named W18O49-nanowires/reduced-graphene-oxides) for isopropanol dehydration where the reaction rate was 180-fold greater than the corresponding thermocatalytic pathway. The key detail to this strategy lies in the synergetic utilization of ultraviolet light and visible-near-infrared light to enhance the hot electron generation and promote electron transfer for C-O bond cleavage during isopropanol dehydration reaction. This, in turn, results in a reduced reaction activation barrier down to 0.37 eV (compared to 1.0 eV of thermocatalysis) and a significantly improved conversion efficiency of 100% propylene from isopropanol. This work provides an additional strategy to modulate hot carrier of plasmonic semiconductors and helps guide the design of better catalytic materials and chemistries.

Abstract
Supported ordered intermetallic compounds exhibit superior catalytic performance over their disordered alloy counterparts in diverse reactions. But the synthesis of intermetallic compounds catalysts often requires high-temperature annealing that leads to the sintering of metals into larger crystallites. Herein, we report a small molecule-assisted impregnation approach to realize the general synthesis of a family of intermetallic catalysts, consisting of 18 binary platinum intermetallic compounds supported on carbon blacks. The molecular additives containing heteroatoms (that is, O, N, or S) can be coordinated with platinum in impregnation and thermally converted into heteroatom-doped graphene layers in high-temperature annealing, which significantly suppress alloy sintering and insure the formation of small-sized intermetallic catalysts. The prepared optimal PtCo intermetallics as cathodic oxygen-reduction catalysts exhibit a high mass activity of 1.08 A mgPt-1 at 0.9 V in H2-O2 fuel cells and a rated power density of 1.17 W cm-2 in H2-air fuel cells.

Abstract
Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made remarkable progress with the emergence of a variety of novel alloy materials and their functions. Therefore, a comprehensive disciplinary framework for catalytic chemistry of alloys that provides a cross-sectional understanding of the broad research field is in high demand. In this review, we provide a comprehensive classification of various alloy materials based on metallurgy, thermodynamics, and inorganic chemistry and summarize the roles of alloying in catalysis and its principles with a brief introduction of the historical background of this research field. Furthermore, we explain how each type of alloy can be used as a catalyst material and how to design a functional catalyst for the target reaction by introducing representative case studies. This review includes two approaches, namely, from materials and reactions, to provide a better understanding of the catalytic chemistry of alloys. Our review offers a perspective on this research field and can be used encyclopedically according to the readers' individual interests.

Abstract
Oxidative addition of CH4 to the catalyst surface produces CH3 and H. If the CH3 species generated on the surface couple with each other, reductive elimination of C2H6 may be achieved. Similarly, H's could couple to form H2. This is the outline of nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM). It is difficult to achieve this reaction on a typical Pt catalyst surface. This is because methane is overoxidized and coking occurs. In this study, the authors approach this problem from a molecular aspect, relying on organometallic or complex chemistry concepts. Diagrams obtained by extending the concepts of the Walsh diagram to surface reactions are used extensively. C-H bond activation, i.e., oxidative addition, and C-C and H-H bond formation, i.e., reductive elimination, on metal catalyst surfaces are thoroughly discussed from the point of view of orbital theory. The density functional theory method for structural optimization and accurate energy calculations and the extended Hückel method for detailed analysis of crystal orbital changes and interactions play complementary roles. Limitations of monometallic catalysts are noted. Therefore, a rational design of single atom alloy (SAA) catalysts is attempted. As a result, the effectiveness of the Pt1/Au(111) SAA catalyst for NOCM is theoretically proposed. On such an SAA surface, one would expect to find a single Pt monatomic site in a sea of inert Au atoms. This is desirable for both inhibiting overoxidation and promoting reductive elimination.

Abstract
Propane dehydrogenation has been a promising propylene production process that can compensate for the increasing global demand for propylene. However, Pt-based catalysts with high stability at ≥600 °C have barely been reported because the catalysts typically result in short catalyst life owing to side reactions and coke formation. Herein, we report a new class of heterogeneous catalysts using high-entropy intermetallics (HEIs). Pt-Pt ensembles, which cause side reactions, are entirely diluted by the component inert metals in PtGe-type HEIs. The resultant HEI (PtCoCu) (GeGeSn)/Ca-SiO2 exhibited an outstandingly high catalytic stability, even at 600 °C (kd-1 = τ = 4146 h = 173 d), and almost no deactivation of the catalyst was observed for 2 months for the first time. Detailed experimental studies and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the combination of the site-isolation and entropy effects upon multi-metallization of PtGe drastically enhanced the desorption of propylene and the thermal stability, eventually suppressing the side reactions even at high reaction temperatures.

Abstract
The increasing demand for short chain olefins like propene for plastics production and the availability of shale gas make the development of highly performing propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalysts, robust toward industrially applied harsh regeneration conditions, a highly important field of research. A combination of surface organometallic chemistry and thermolytic molecular precursor approach was used to prepare a nanometric, bimetallic Pt-Mn material (3 wt % Pt, 1.3 wt % Mn) supported on silica via consecutive grafting of a Mn and Pt precursor on surface OH groups present on the support surface, followed by a treatment under a H2 flow at high temperature. The material exhibits a 70% fraction of the overall Mn as MnII single sites on the support surface; the remaining Mn is incorporated in segregated Pt2Mn nanoparticles. The material shows great performance in PDH reaction with a low deactivation rate. In particular, it shows outstanding robustness during repeated regeneration cycles, with conversion and selectivity stabilizing at ca. 37 and 98%, respectively. Notably, a material with a lower Pt loading of only 0.05 wt % shows an outstanding catalytic performance─initial productivity of 4523 gC3H6/gPt h and an extremely low kd of 0.003 h-1 under a partial pressure of H2, which are among the highest reported productivities. A combined in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and metadynamics at the density functional theory level study could show that the strong interaction between the MnII-decorated support and the unexpectedly segregated Pt2Mn particles is most likely responsible for the outstanding performance of the investigated materials.

Abstract
Intermetallic CaPt2 nanoparticles, supported on titanium group oxides, were prepared using a molten salt method with CaH2 as both the reducing agent and the calcium source. The nanoparticles exhibited superior catalytic activity compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst in the hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols, which could be promoted by electron-rich Pt sites in CaPt2.
