Abstract
Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts have emerged as promising candidates for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) due to their uniform active sites and high atomic utilization rate. However, poor efficiency at low overpotentials and unclear reaction mechanisms limit the application of M-N-C catalysts. In this study, Fe-N-C catalysts are developed by incorporating S atoms onto ordered hierarchical porous carbon substrates with a molecular iron thiophenoporphyrin. The well-prepared FeSNC catalyst exhibits superior CO2RR activity and stability, attributes to an optimized electronic environment, and enhances the adsorption of reaction intermediates. It displays the highest CO selectivity of 94.0% at -0.58 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and achieves the highest partial current density of 13.64 mA cm-2 at -0.88 V. Furthermore, when employed as the cathode in a Zn-CO2 battery, FeSNC achieves a high-power density of 1.19 mW cm-2 and stable charge-discharge cycles. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the incorporation of S atoms into the hierarchical porous carbon substrate led to the iron center becoming more electron-rich, consequently improving the adsorption of the crucial reaction intermediate *COOH. This study underscores the significance of hierarchical porous structures and heteroatom doping for advancing electrocatalytic CO2RR and energy storage technologies.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted considerable research interest owing to their combined merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. However, the uniform and isolated active sites of SACs fall short in catalysing complex chemical processes that simultaneously involve multiple intermediates. In this Review, we highlight an emerging class of catalysts with adjacent binary active centres, which is called integrative catalytic pairs (ICPs), showing not only atomic-scale site-to-site electronic interactions but also synergistic catalytic effects. Compared with SACs or their derivative dual-atom catalysts (DACs), multi-interactive intermediates on ICPs can overcome kinetic barriers, adjust reaction pathways and break the universal linear scaling relations as the smallest active units. Starting from this active-site design principle, each single active atom can be considered as a brick to further build integrative catalytic clusters (ICCs) with desirable configurations, towards trimer or even larger multi-atom units depending on the requirement of a given reaction.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been being one of the most malignant carcinomas featuring high metastatic and recurrence rates. The current OSCC treatment modalities in clinics severely deteriorate the quality of life of patients due to the impaired oral and maxillofacial functions. In the present work, we have engineered the single-atom Fe nanocatalysts (SAF NCs) with a NO donor (S-nitrosothiol, SNO) via surface modification to achieve synergistic nanocatalytic NO gas therapy against orthotopic OSCC. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, the photonic hyperthermia could effectively augment the heterogeneous Fenton catalytic activity, meanwhile trigger the thermal decomposition of the engineered NO donor, thus producing toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and antitumor therapeutic NO gas at tumor lesion simultaneously, and consequently inducing the apoptotic cell death of tumors via mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. This therapeutic paradigm presents an effective local OSCC therapeutics in a synergistic manner based on the nanocatalytic NO gas therapy, providing a promising antitumor modality with high biocompatibility.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion reactions of a nitrogen-hydrogen bond have emerged as robust and versatile methods for the construction of C-N bonds. While significant progress of homogeneous catalytic metal carbene N-H insertions has been achieved, the control of chemoselectivity in the field remains challenging due to the high electrophilicity of the metal carbene intermediates. Herein, we present an efficient strategy for the synthesis of a rhodium single-atom-site catalyst (Rh-SA) that incorporates a Rh atom surrounded by three nitrogen atoms and one phosphorus atom doped in a carbon support. This Rh-SA catalyst, with a catalyst loading of only 0.15 mol %, exhibited exceptional catalytic performance for heterogeneous carbene insertion with various anilines and heteroaryl amines in combination with diazo esters. Importantly, the heterogeneous catalyst selectively transformed aniline derivatives bearing multiple nucleophilic moieties into single N-H insertion isomers, while the popular homogeneous Rh2(OAc)4 catalyst produced a mixture of overfunctionalized side products. Additionally, similar selectivities for N-H bond insertion with a set of stereoelectronically diverse diazo esters were obtained, highlighting the general applicability of this heterogeneous catalysis approach. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, the observed selectivity of the Rh-SA catalyst was attributed to the insertion barriers and the accelerated proton transfer assisted by the phosphorus atom in the support. Overall, this investigation of heterogeneous metal-catalyzed carbene insertion underscores the potential of single-atom-site catalysis as a powerful and complementary tool in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), distinguished by their maximum atom efficiency and precise control over the coordination and electronic properties of individual atoms, show great promise in electrocatalysis. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the electrochemical performance of SACs requires the screening of electron transfer process at micro/nano scale. This research pioneers the use of electrogenerated chemiluminescence microscopy (ECLM) to observe the electrocatalytic reactions at individual SACs. It boasts sensitivity at the single photon level and temporal resolution down to 100 ms, enabling real-time capture of the electrochemical behavior of individual SACs during potential sweeping. Leveraging the direct correlation between ECL emission and heterogeneous electron transfer processes, we introduced photon flux density for quantitative analysis, unveiling the electrocatalytic efficiency of individual SACs. This approach systematically reveals the relationship between SACs based on different metal atoms and their peroxidase (POD)-like activity. The outcomes contribute to a fundamental understanding of SACs and pave the way for designing SACs with diverse technological and industrial applications.

Abstract
Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is an important feedstock in fuels, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Nanostructured electrocatalysts drive green electrosynthesis of hydroxylamine from nitrogen oxide species in water. However, current electrocatalysts still suffer from low selectivity and manpower-consuming trial-and-error modes, leaving unclear selectivity/activity origins and a lack of catalyst design principles. Herein, we theoretically analyze key determinants of selectivity/activity and propose the adsorption energy of NHO (Gad(*NHO)) as a performance descriptor. A weak *NH2OH binding affinity and a favorable reaction pathway (*NHO pathway) jointly enable single-atom catalysts (SACs) with superior NH2OH selectivity. Then, an activity volcano plot of Gad(*NHO) is established to predict a series of SACs and discover Mn SACs as optimal electrocatalysts that exhibit pH-dependent activity. These theoretical prediction results are also confirmed by experimental results, rationalizing our Gad(*NHO) descriptor. Furthermore, Mn-Co geminal-atom catalysts (GACs) are predicted to optimize Gad(*NHO) and are experimentally proved to enhance NH2OH formation.

Abstract
Selectively reducing nitroaromatics into aromatic amines will not only remove nitroaromatic pollutants in waste effluents to reduce environmental risks, but also yield important feedstocks for chemical industrial manufactures. In this study, a FeCo-co-embedded N-doped Carbon (FeCo-N-C) catalyst with Fe-Co atomic pair has been identified with favorable activity, superior selectivity, excellent reusability, as well as outstanding performance in the treatment of real water. The combined results from theoretical study and experimental tests indicate that the improved catalytic performance of FeCo-N-C is owing to the narrowed band gap and electron delocalization caused by the Fe-Co atomic pair which can improve electron transport in its catalytic reaction. The results of isotope experiments and H* quenching experiments confirm that H2O is the source of hydrogen in catalytic reduction of PNP. FeCo-N-C is identified as a superior catalyst to replace multitudinous currently used noble-metal catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Understanding the correlation between the structural evolution of electrocatalysts and their catalytic activity is both essential and challenging. In this study, we investigate this correlation in the context of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by examining the influence of structural disorder during and after dynamic structural evolution on the OER activity of Fe-Ni (oxy)hydroxide catalysts using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, alongside other experiments and theoretical calculations. The Debye-Waller factors obtained from extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses reflect the degree of structural disorder and exhibit a robust correlation with the intrinsic OER activities of the electrocatalysts. The enhanced OER activity of in situ-generated metal (oxy)hydroxides derived from different pre-catalysts is linked to increased structural disorder, offering a promising approach for designing efficient OER electrocatalysts. This strategy may inspire similar investigations in related electrocatalytic energy-conversion systems.

Abstract
Developing artificial enzymes with excellent catalytic activities and uncovering the structural and chemical determinants remain a grand challenge. Discrete titanium-oxo clusters with well-defined coordination environments at the atomic level can mimic the pivotal catalytic center of natural enzymes and optimize the charge-transfer kinetics. Herein, we report the precise structural tailoring of a self-assembled tetrahedral Ti4Mn3-cluster for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and realize the selective evolution of CO over specific sites. Experiments and theoretical simulation demonstrate that the high catalytic performance of the Ti4Mn3-cluster should be related to the synergy between active Mn sites and the surrounding functional microenvironment. The reduced energy barrier of the CO2 photoreduction reaction and moderate adsorption strength of CO* are beneficial for the high selective evolution of CO. This work provides a molecular scale accurate structural model to give insight into artificial enzyme for CO2 photoreduction.

However, molecular-level structure design of Fe-N4 electrocatalyst remains a great challenge. In this study, we develop a novel Fe-N4 conjugated organic polymer (COP) electrocatalyst, which allows for precise design of the Fe-N4 structure, leading to unprecedented ORR performance. At the molecular level, we have successfully organized spatially proximate iron-pyrrole/pyrazine (FePr/Pz) pairs into fully conjugated polymer networks, which in turn endows FePr sites with firmly covalent-bonded matrix, strong d-π electron coupling and highly dense distribution. The resulting pyrazine-linked iron-coordinated tetrapyrrole (Pz-FeTPr) COP electrocatalyst exhibits superior performance compared to most ORR electrocatalysts, with a half-wave potential of 0.933 V and negligible activity decay after 40,000 cycles. When used as the cathode electrocatalyst in a hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell, the Pz-FeTPr COP achieves a peak power density of ≈210 mW cm-2 . We anticipate the COP based Fe-N4 catalyst design could be an effective strategy to develop high-performance catalyst for facilitating the progress of fuel cells.

Abstract
The structure-activity relationship in catalytic ozonation remains unclear, hindering the understanding of activity origins. Here, we report activity trends in catalytic ozonation using a series of single-atom catalysts with well-defined M1-N3C1 (M: manganese, ferrum, cobalt, and nickel) active sites. The M1-N3C1 units induce locally polarized M - C bonds to capture ozone molecules onto M atoms and serve as electron shuttles for catalytic ozonation, exhibiting excellent catalytic activities (at least 527 times higher than commercial manganese dioxide). The combined in situ characterization and theoretical calculations reveal single metal atom-dependent catalytic activity, with surface atomic oxygen reactivity identified as a descriptor for the structure-activity relationship in catalytic ozonation. Additionally, the dissociation barrier of surface peroxide species is proposed as a descriptor for the structure-activity relationship in ozone decomposition. These findings provide guidelines for designing high-performance catalytic ozonation catalysts and enhance the atomic-level mechanistic understanding of the integral control of ozone and methyl mercaptan.

Abstract
Full understanding to the origin of the catalytic performance of a supported nanocatalyst from the points of view of both the active component and support is significant for the achievement of high performance. Herein, based on a model electrocatalyst of single-iridium-atom-doped iron (Fe)-based layered double hydroxides (LDH) for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), we reveal the first completed origin of the catalytic performance of such supported nanocatalysts. Specially, besides the activity enhancement of Ir sites by LDH support, the stability of surface Fe sites is enhanced by doped Ir sites: DFT calculation shows that the Ir sites can reduce the activity and enhance the stability of the nearby Fe sites; while further finite element simulations indicate, the stability enhancement of distant Fe sites could be attributed to the much low concentration of OER reactant (hydroxyl ions, OH- ) around them induced by the much fast consumption of OH- on highly active Ir sites. These new findings about the interaction between the main active components and supports are applicable in principle to other heterogeneous nanocatalysts and provide a completed understanding to the catalytic performance of heterogeneous nanocatalysts.

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
Palladium (Pd)-modified metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) gas sensors often exhibit unexpected hydrogen (H2 ) sensing activity through a spillover effect. However, sluggish kinetics over a limited Pd-MOS surface seriously restrict the sensing process. Here, a hollow Pd-NiO/SnO2 buffered nanocavity is engineered to kinetically drive the H2 spillover over dual yolk-shell surface for the ultrasensitive H2 sensing. This unique nanocavity is found and can induce more H2 absorption and markedly improve kinetical H2 ab/desorption rates. Meanwhile, the limited buffer-room allows the H2 molecules to adequately spillover in the inside-layer surface and thus realize dual H2 spillover effect. Ex situ XPS, in situ Raman, and density functional theory (DFT) analysis further confirm that the Pd species can effectively combine H2 to form Pd-H bonds and then dissociate the hydrogen species to NiO/SnO2 surface. The final Pd-NiO/SnO2 sensors exhibit an ultrasensitive response (0.1-1000 ppm H2 ) and low actual detection limit (100 ppb) at the operating temperature of 230 °C, which surpass that of most reported H2 sensors.

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

Abstract
Cells possess isolated compartments that spatially confine different enzymes, enabling high-efficiency enzymatic cascade reactions. Herein, we report a cell-inspired design of biomimetic cascade catalysis system by immobilizing Fe single atoms and Au nanoparticles on the inner and outer layers of three-dimensional nanocapsules, respectively. The different metal sites catalyze independently and work synergistically to enable engineered and cascade glucose detection. The biomimetic catalysis system demonstrates ~ 9.8- and 2-fold cascade activity enhancement than conventional mixing and coplanar construction systems, respectively. Furthermore, the biomimetic catalysis system is successfully demonstrated for the colorimetric glucose detection with high catalytic activity and selectivity. Also, the proposed gel-based sensor is integrated with smartphone to enable real-time and visual determination of glucose. More importantly, the gel-based sensor exhibits a high correlation with a commercial glucometer in real samples detection. These findings provide a strategy to design an efficient biomimetic catalysis system for applications in bioassays and nanobiomedicines.

Abstract
Ionic dividers with uniform pores and functionalized surfaces display significant potential for solving Li-dendrite issues in Li-metal batteries. In this study, single metal and nitrogen co-doped carbon-sandwiched MXene (M-NC@MXene) nanosheets are designed and fabricated, which possess highly ordered nanochannels with a diameter of ≈10 nm. The experiments and computational calculations verified that the M-NC@MXene nanosheets eliminate Li dendrites in several ways: (1) redistributing the Li-ion flux via the highly ordered ion channels, (2) selectively conducting Li ions and anchoring anions by heteroatom doping to extend the nucleation time for Li dendrites, and (3) tightly staggering on a routine polypropylene (PP) separator to obstruct the growth path of Li dendrites. With a Zn-NC@MXene-coated PP divider, the assembled Li||Li symmetric battery shows an ultralow overpotential of ≈25 mV and a cycle life of 1500 h at a high current density of 3 mA cm-2 and high capacity of 3 mAh cm-2 . Remarkably, the life of a Li||Ni83 pouch cell with an energy density of 305 Wh kg-1 is improved by fivefold. Moreover, the remarkable performance of Li||Li, Li||LiFePO4 , and Li||sulfur batteries reveal the significant potential of the well-designed multifunctional ion divider for further practical applications.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2023; 120:e2302873120. [PMID: 37253005 PMCID: PMC10265997 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2302873120] [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: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Efficient photocatalytic H2 production from wastewater instead of pure water is a dual solution to the environmental and energy crisis, but due to the rapid recombination of photoinduced charge in the photocatalyst and inevitable electron depletion caused by organic pollutants, a significant challenge of dual-functional photocatalysis (simultaneous oxidative and reductive reactions) in single catalyst is designing spatial separation path for photogenerated charges at atomic level. Here, we designed a Pt-doped BaTiO3 single catalyst with oxygen vacancies (BTPOv) that features Pt-O-Ti3+ short charge separation site, which enables excellent H2 production performance (1519 μmol·g-1·h-1) while oxidizing moxifloxacin (k = 0.048 min-1), almost 43 and 98 times than that of pristine BaTiO3 (35 μmol·g-1·h-1 and k = 0.00049 min-1). The efficient charge separation path is demonstrated that the oxygen vacancies extract photoinduced charge from photocatalyst to catalytic surface, and the adjacent Ti3+ defects allow rapid migration of electrons to Pt atoms through the superexchange effect for H* adsorption and reduction, while the holes will be confined in Ti3+ defects for oxidation of moxifloxacin. Impressively, the BTPOv shows an exceptional atomic economy and potential for practical applications, a best H2 production TOF (370.4 h-1) among the recent reported dual-functional photocatalysts and exhibiting excellent H2 production activity in multiple types of wastewaters.

Abstract
Hybrid materials, integrating the merits of individual components, are ideal structures for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the rational construction of hybrid structures with decent physical/electrochemical properties is yet challenging. Herein, a promising OER electrocatalyst composed of trimetallic metal-organic frameworks supported over S/N-doped carbon macroporous fibers (S/N-CMF@Fex Coy Ni1-x-y -MOF) via a cation-exchange strategy is delicately fabricated. Benefiting from the trimetallic composition with improved intrinsic activity, hollow S/N-CMF matrix facilitating exposure of active sites, as well as their robust integration, the resultant S/N-CMF@Fex Coy Ni1-x-y -MOF electrocatalyst delivers outstanding activity and stability for alkaline OER. Specifically, it needs an overpotential of 296 mV to reach the benchmark current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a small Tafel slope of 53.5 mV dec-1 . In combination with X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, the post-formed Fe/Co-doped γ-NiOOH during the OER operation is revealed to account for the high OER performance of S/N-CMF@Fex Coy Ni1-x-y -MOF.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has attracted wide research attention in constructing functional devices, including integrated circuits, transparent electrodes, and flexible actuators. Bottom-up fabrication is an important approach for functional structure manufacture, however, the controllable fabrication of complex architectures for practical applications has long been a challenge. Here, a novel strategy of laser plasmonic fabrication based on glue molecule modulation is proposed that can assemble metal nanocrystals into interconnected pattern networks. The plasmonic response of nanocrystals is adjustable with molecule modulation, which is a benefit for the effective formation of laser-induced localized oscillating electrons. The further decomposition of molecules and the movement of nanocrystal surface atoms can achieve the coalescence of assembled nanocrystals. It demonstrates that complex architectures can be controllably constructed by molecule level modulation. Through molecule-assisted laser plasmonic fabrication, the functional nanocrystals with enhanced photothermal capacity can be used for information encryption and soft machinery. This work expands the knowledge of bottom-up fabrication and provides a method for designing functional nanocrystals for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Hollow carbon nanocages (HCNCs) consisting of sp2 carbon shells featured by a hollow interior cavity with defective microchannels (or customized mesopores) across the carbon shells, high specific surface area, and tunable electronic structure, are quilt different from the other nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. These structural and morphological characteristics make HCNCs a new platform for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion. This review focuses on the controllable preparation, structural regulation, and modification of HCNCs, as well as their electrochemical functions and applications as energy storage materials and electrocatalytic conversion materials. The metal single atoms-functionalized structures and electrochemical properties of HCNCs are summarized systematically and deeply. The research challenges and trends are also envisaged for deepening and extending the study and application of this hollow carbon material. The development of multifunctional carbon-based composite nanocages provides a new idea and method for improving the energy density, power density, and volume performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received a significant amount of attention due to their high atomic utilization, low cost, high reaction activity, and selectivity for multiple catalytic reactions. Unfortunately, the high surface free energy of single atoms leads them easily migrated and aggregated. Therefore, support materials play an important role in the preparation and catalytic performance of SACs. Aiming at understanding the relationship between support materials and the catalytic performance of SACs, the support effects in SACs are introduced and reviewed herein. Moreover, special emphasis is placed on exploring the influence of the type and structure of supports on SAC catalytic performance through advanced characterization and theoretical research. Future research directions for support materials are also proposed, providing some insight into the design of SACs with high efficiency and high loading.

Abstract
Electrochemical Nc reduction has been regarded as one of the most promising approaches to producing ammonia under mild conditions, but there are remaining pressing challenges in improving the reaction rate and efficiency. Herein, an unconventional galvanic replacement reaction is reported to fabricate a unique hierarchical structure composed of Fe3 O4 -CeO2 bimetallic nanotubes covered by Fe2 O3 ultrathin nanosheets. Control experiments reveal that CeO2 species play the essential role of stabilizer for Fe2+ cations. Compared with bare CeO2 and Fe2 O3 nanotubes, the as-obtained Fe2 O3 /Fe3 O4 -CeO2 possesses a remarkably enhanced NH3 yield rate (30.9 µg h-1 mgcat -1 ) and Faradaic efficiency (26.3%). The enhancement can be attributed to the hierarchical feature that makes electrodes more easily to contact with electrolytes. More importantly, as verified by density functional theory calculations, the generation of Fe2 O3 -Fe3 O4 heterogeneous junctions can efficiently optimize the reaction pathways, and the energy barrier of the potential determining step (the *N2 hydrogenates into *N*NH) is significantly decreased.

Abstract
The regulation of coordination configurations of single-atom sites is highly desirable to boost the catalytic performances of SA catalysts. Here, we demonstrate a versatile complexation-deposition strategy for the synthesis of 13 kinds of dual-metal SA site pairs with uniform and exclusive coordination configurations. The preparation is specifically exemplified by the fabrication of Cu and Co single-atom pairs with the co-existence of N and P heteroatoms through etching and pyrolysis of a pre-synthesized metal-organic framework template. Systematic characterizations reveal the uniform and exclusive coordinative configuration of Cu and Co SA sites in CuN4/CoN3P1 and CuN4/CoN2P2, over which the electrons are unsymmetrically distributed. Impressively, the CuN4/CoN2P2 site pairs exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity in the synthesis of a variety of natural flavonoids in comparison with the CuN4/CoN3P1 and CuN4/CoN4 counterparts. Theoretical calculation results suggest that the unsymmetrical electron distribution over the CuN4/CoN2P2 sites could facilitate the adsorption and disassociation of oxygen molecules via reducing the energy barriers of the generation of the key intermediates and thus kinetically accelerate the oxidative-coupling reaction process.

Abstract
Knowledge about the impact of singlet oxygen (1O2) on the characteristics and inactivation of harmful cyanobacterial organic matter is limited. In this study, the feasibility of using an improved single-iron doped graphite-like phase carbon nitride catalyst (FeCN) to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalytic production of 1O2 to inactivate four harmful cyanobacteria was investigated. The inactivation efficiencies at 30 min were 92.77%, 66.84%, 91.06%, and 93.45% for Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), Nodularia harveyana, Oscillatoria sp., and Nostoc sp., respectively. This was associated with adjusting experimental parameters, such as the FeCN and PMS doses and initial pH, to obtain the maximum 1O2 yield. The quenching experiment results and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra showed that 1O2 generated via the non-radical pathway might play a dominant role in inactivating harmful cyanobacteria and degrading harmful algal toxins (Microcystin-LR and Nodularin). In addition, the FeCN-PMS system not only effectively destroyed the integrity of harmful cyanobacterial cells but also effectively degraded cyanobacterial toxins, thereby preventing severe secondary contamination by cell rupture. A possible removal mechanism was proposed. This reveals the potential of 1O2 to simultaneously inactivate harmful cyanobacteria and degrade harmful cyanobacterial toxins.

Abstract
Single-atom (SA) catalysts provide extensive possibilities in pursuing fantastic catalytic performances, while their preparation still suffers from metal aggregation and pore collapsing during pyrolysis. Here we report a versatile medium-induced infiltration deposition strategy for the fabrication of SAs and hetero-SAs (MaN4/MbN4@NC; Ma = Cu, Co, Ni, Mn, Mb = Co, Cu, Fe, NC = N-doped carbon). In-situ and control experiments reveal that the catalyst fabrication relies on the "step-by-step" evolution of Ma-containing metal-organic framework (MOF) template and Mb-based metal precursor, during which molten salt acts as both pore generator in the MOF transformation, and carrier for the oriented infiltration and deposition of the latter to eventually yield metal SAs embedded on hierarchically porous support. The as-prepared hetero-SAs show excellent catalytic performances in the general synthesis of 33 kinds of natural flavones. The highly efficient synthesis is further strengthened by the reliable durability of the catalyst loaded in a flow reactor. Systematic characterizations and mechanism studies suggest that the superior catalytic performances of CuN4/CoN4@NC are attributed to the facilitated O2 activating-splitting process and significantly reduced reaction energy barriers over CoN4 due to the synergetic interactions of the adjacent CuN4.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), with individually isolated metal atom as active sites, have shown tremendous potential as enzyme-based drugs for enzymatic therapy. However, using SAzymes in tumor theranostics remains challenging because of deficient enzymatic activity and insufficient endogenous H2O2. We develop an external-field-enhanced catalysis by an atom-level engineered FeN4-centered nanozyme (FeN4-SAzyme) for radio-enzymatic therapy. This FeN4-SAzyme exhibits peroxidase-like activity capable of catalyzing H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals and converting single-site FeII species to FeIII for subsequent glutathione oxidase-like activity. Density functional theory calculations are used to rationalize the origin of the single-site self-cascade enzymatic activity. Importantly, using X-rays can improve the overall single-site cascade enzymatic reaction process via promoting the conversion frequency of FeII/FeIII. As a H2O2 producer, natural glucose oxidase is further decorated onto the surface of FeN4-SAzyme to yield the final construct GOD@FeN4-SAzyme. The resulting GOD@FeN4-SAzyme not only supplies in situ H2O2 to continuously produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals but also induces the localized deposition of radiation dose, subsequently inducing intensive apoptosis and ferroptosis in vitro. Such a synergistic effect of radiotherapy and self-cascade enzymatic therapy allows for improved tumor growth inhibition with minimal side effects in vivo. Collectively, this work demonstrates the introduction of external fields to enhance enzyme-like performance of nanozymes without changing their properties and highlights a robust therapeutic capable of self-supplying H2O2 and amplifying self-cascade reactions to address the limitations of enzymatic treatment.

Abstract
Tandem catalysis provides an economical and energy-efficient process for the production of fine chemicals. In this work, we demonstrate that a rationally synthesized carbon-based catalyst with atomically dispersed dual Fe-Al sites (ADD-Fe-Al) achieves superior catalytic activity for the one-pot oxidative carboxylation of olefins (conversion ∼97%, selectivity ∼91%), where the yield of target product over ADD-Fe-Al is at least 62% higher than that of monometallic counterparts. The kinetic results reveal that the excellent catalytic performance arises from the synergistic effect between Fe (oxidation site) and Al sites (cycloaddition site), where the efficient CO2 cycloaddition with epoxides in the presence of Al sites (3.91 wt %) positively shifts the oxidation equilibrium to olefin epoxidation over Fe sites (0.89 wt %). This work not only offers an advanced catalyst for oxidative carboxylation of olefins but also opens up an avenue for the rational design of multifunctional catalysts for tandem catalytic reactions in the future.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient and economical materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) plays a key role in practical energy conversion technologies. However, the intrinsic scaling relations exert thermodynamic inhibition on realizing highly active ORR electrocatalysts. Herein, a novel and feasible gradient orbital coupling strategy for tuning the ORR performance through the construction of Co 3d-O 2p-Eu 4f unit sites on the Eu2 O3 -Co model is proposed. Through the gradient orbital coupling, the pristine ionic property between Eu and O atoms is assigned with increased covalency, which optimizes the eg occupancy of Co sites, and weakens the OO bond, thus ultimately breaking the scaling relation between *OOH and *OH at Co-O-Eu unit sites. The optimized model catalyst displays onset and half-wave potential of 1.007 and 0.887 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, respectively, which are higher than those of commercial Pt/C and most Co-based catalysts ever reported. In addition, the catalyst is found to possess superior selectivity and durability. It also reveals better cell performance than commercial noble-metal catalysts in Zn-air batteries in terms of high power/energy densities and long cycle life. This study provides a new perspective for electronic modulation strategy by the construction of gradient 3d-2p-4f orbital coupling.

Abstract
Single-atom-site catalysts (SASCs) featuring maximized atom utilization and isolated active sites have progressed tremendously in recent years as a highly prosperous branch of catalysis research. Varieties of SASCs have been developed that show excellent performance in many catalytic applications. The major goal of SASC research is to establish feasible synthetic strategies for the preparation of high-performance catalysts, to achieve an in-depth understanding of the active-site structures and catalytic mechanisms, and to develop practical catalysts with industrial value. This Perspective describes the up-to-date development of SASCs and related catalysts, such as dual-atom-site catalysts (DASCs) and nano-single-atom-site catalysts (NSASCs), analyzes the current challenges encountered by these catalysts for industrial applications, and proposes their possible future development path.

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

Abstract
Electron transfer plays an important role in determining the energy conversion efficiency of energy devices. Nitrogen-coordinated single metal sites (M-N4) materials as electrocatalysts have exhibited great potential in devices. However, there are still great difficulties in how to directionally manipulate electron transfer in M-N4 catalysts for higher efficiency. Herein, we demonstrated the mechanism of electron transfer being affected by energy level structure based on classical iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecule/carbon models and proposed an energy level engineering strategy to manipulate electron transfer, preparing high-performance ORR catalysts. Engineering molecular energy level via modulating FePc molecular structure with nitro induces a strong interfacial electronic coupling and efficient charge transfer from carbon to FePc-β-NO2 molecule. Consequently, the assembled zinc-air battery exhibits ultrahigh performance which is superior to most of M-N4 catalysts. Energy level engineering provides a universal approach for directionally manipulating electron transfer, bringing a new concept to design efficient and stable M-N4 electrocatalyst.

Abstract
The orderly assembly of single atoms into highly periodic aggregates at the nanoscale is an intriguing but challenging process of high-precision atomic manufacturing. Here, we discover that an in-plane film surface shrinkage can induce molecular self-assembly to arrange single atoms with unconventional distribution, contributing them to periodic one-dimensional segregation on carbon stripes (one-dimensional single-atom arrays (SAA)). This originates from the fact that metal phthalocyanine (MPc) molecules gradually aggregate and melt to form a film under a thermal drive and the help of sodium chloride templates, accompanied by surface shrinkage, self-assembly, and deep carbonization. At the nanoscale, these periodic parallel arrays are formed due to MPc molecular interactions by π-π stacking. At the atomic scale, the single atoms are stabilized by the vertical phthalocyanine-derived multilayer graphene. This can significantly modify the electronic structure of the single-atom sites on the outermost graphene (e.g., Fe-based SAA), thus optimizing the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates and resulting in a superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance concerning disordered single atoms. Our findings provide a general route for orderly single-atom manufacturing (e.g., Fe, Co, and Cu) and an understanding of the relationship between orderly allocation and catalytic performance.

Abstract
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) are an important branch of single-atom catalysts (SACs), in which the former can effectively break the dilemma faced by the traditional SACs. The synergetic effects between bimetallic atoms provide many active sites, promising to improve catalytic performance and even catalyze more complex reactions. This paper reviews the recent research progresses of two kinds of DACs, including homonuclear and heteronuclear DACs, and their applications in oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, Zn-air batteries, tandem catalytic reactions, and so on. In addition, in order to promote the further development of DACs, the challenges and perspectives of DACs are put forward.

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

Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs) offer unprecedented opportunities for high-efficiency reactions taking place in many important fields of catalytic processes, electrochemistry, and photoreactions. Due to their maximized atomic utilization and unique electronic and chemical properties, SACs can provide high activity and excellent selectivity for gas adsorption and electron transport, leveraging SACs that enhance the detection sensitivity and selectivity to target gases. In the past few years, SACs including both noble (Pt, Pd, Au, etc.) and non-noble (Mn, Ni, Zn etc.) metals have been demonstrated to be very useful in optimizing sensing performances. However, a comprehensive review on this topic is still missing. Herein, we summarize the synthesis technologies of SACs that are applicable to gas sensors. The electronic and chemical interactions between SACs and host sensing materials, which are crucial to sensor functions, are discussed. Then, we highlight the application progress of various SACs in gas sensors. Prospects in the creation of new sensing materials with emerging SACs and versatile supports are also present. Finally, the challenges and prospects of SACs in the future development of sensors are analyzed.

Abstract
A palladium precursor (H2PdCl4) has been utilized as a novel structure-directing agent for controlling the morphology of ZIF-8. Using reverse micelles as nanoreactors, the Pd/ZIF-8 nanocomposite with a uniform size distribution is obtained. It is revealed that Pd(II) can selectively coordinate with the (100) plane of ZIF-8. As a result, the morphology of ZIF-8 is transformed from rhombic dodecahedral to cubic. After hydrogen treatment, the as-obtained Pd NPs/ZIF-8 nanocubes show efficient catalytic activity for nitrobenzene hydrogenation, which is higher than that of the commercially available Pd/C catalyst.

Abstract
Magnetic single-atom catalysts (MSAC), due to the intrinsic spin degree of freedom, are of particular importance relative to other conventional SAC for applications in various catalytic processes, especially in those cases that involve spin-triplet O2. However, the bottleneck issue in this field is the clustering of the SAC during the processes. Here using first-principles calculations we predict that Mn atoms can be readily confined in the interface of the porous g-C3N4/CeO2(111) heterostructure, forming high-performance MSAC for O2 activation via a delicate synergetic mechanism of charge transfer, mainly provided by the p-block g-C3N4 overlayer mediated by the d-block Mn active site, and spin selection, preserved mainly through active participation of the f-block Ce atoms and/or g-C3N4, which effectively promotes the CO oxidization. Such a recipe is also demonstrated to be valid for V- and Nb-MSACs, which may shed new light on the design of highly efficient MSACs for various important chemical processes wherein spin-selection matters.
