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.

Organizing Photosensitive and Photothermal Single-Sites Uniformly in a Trimetallic Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2403464.

Abstract
Effective combination of the photosensitivity and photothermal property in photocatalyst is vital to achieve the maximum light utilization for superior photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, this work successfully organizes photosensitive Cd-NS single-sites and photothermal Ni-NS single-sites uniformly at a molecular level within a tailored trimetallic metal-organic framework. The optimized Ho6-Cd0.76Ni0.24-NS exhibits a superior photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 40.06 mmol g-1 h-1 under visible-light irradiation and an apparent quantum efficiency of 29.37% at 420 nm without using cocatalysts or photosensitizers. A systematical mechanism study reveals that the uniformly organized photosensitive and photothermal single-sites have synergistic effect, which form ultrashort pathways for efficient transport of photoinduced electrons, suppress the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers, hence promote the hydrogen evolution activity. This work provides a promising approach for organizing dual-functional single-sites uniformly in photocatalyst for high-performance photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
The nature of the support can fundamentally affect the function of a heterogeneous catalyst. For the novel type of isolated metal atom catalysts, sometimes referred to as single-atom catalysts, systematic correlations are still rare. Here, we report a general finding that Pd on nitride supports (non-metal and metal nitride) features a higher oxidation state compared to that on oxide supports (non-metal and metal oxide). Through thorough oxidation state investigations by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO-DRIFTS, and density functional theory (DFT) coupled with Bader charge analysis, it is found that Pd atoms prefer to interact with surface hydroxyl group to form a Pd(OH)x species on oxide supports, while on nitride supports, Pd atoms incorporate into the surface structure in the form of Pd-N bonds. Moreover, a correlation was built between the formal oxidation state and computational Bader charge, based on the periodic trend in electronegativity.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted considerable attention in heterogeneous catalysis because of their well-defined active sites, maximum atomic utilization efficiency, and unique unsaturated coordinated structures. However, their effectiveness is limited to reactions requiring active sites containing multiple metal atoms. Furthermore, the loading amounts of single-atom sites must be restricted to prevent aggregation, which can adversely affect the catalytic performance despite the high activity of the individual atoms. The introduction of nanoscale metal particles (NMPs) into SACs (NMP-SACs) has proven to be an efficient approach for improving their catalytic performance. A comprehensive review is urgently needed to systematically introduce the synthesis, characterization, and application of NMP-SACs and the mechanisms behind their superior catalytic performance. This review first presents and classifies the different mechanisms through which NMPs enhance the performance of SACs. It then summarizes the currently reported synthetic strategies and state-of-the-art characterization techniques of NMP-SACs. Moreover, their application in electro/thermo/photocatalysis, and the reasons for their superior performance are discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of NMP-SACs for the future design of advanced catalysts are addressed.

Abstract
The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with complex multielectron transfer steps significantly limits the large-scale application of electrochemical energy devices, including metal-air batteries and fuel cells. Recent years witnessed the development of metal oxide-supported metal catalysts (MOSMCs), covering single atoms, clusters, and nanoparticles. As alternatives to conventional carbon-dispersed metal catalysts, MOSMCs are gaining increasing interest due to their unique electronic configuration and potentially high corrosion resistance. By engineering the metal oxide substrate, supported metal, and their interactions, MOSMCs can be facilely modulated. Significant progress has been made in advancing MOSMCs for ORR, and their further development warrants advanced characterization methods to better understand MOSMCs and precise modulation strategies to boost their functionalities. In this regard, a comprehensive review of MOSMCs for ORR is still lacking despite this fast-developing field. To eliminate this gap, advanced characterization methods are introduced for clarifying MOSMCs experimentally and theoretically, discuss critical methods of boosting their intrinsic activities and number of active sites, and systematically overview the status of MOSMCs based on different metal oxide substrates for ORR. By conveying methods, research status, critical challenges, and perspectives, this review will rationally promote the design of MOSMCs for electrochemical energy devices.

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
Owing to limited degrees of freedom, the active sites of stable single-atom catalyst (SAC) often have one structure that is energetically much lower than other local-minimum structures. Thus, the SAC adopts one lowest-energy structure (LES) with an overwhelmingly larger proportion than any other high-energy metastable structure (HEMS), and the LES is commonly assumed to be solely responsible for the catalytic performance of an SAC. Herein, we demonstrate with SACs anchored on CeO2 that the HEMS of an SAC, even though its proportion remains several orders of magnitude lower than the LES throughout the catalytic reaction, can dictate catalysis with extraordinary activity arising from its unique coordination environment and oxidation state. Thus, we unravel the key role of HEMS-enabled catalysis in single-atom catalysis, which shakes the common assumption in the studies of SACs and urges new developments in both experiment and theory to identify and exploit catalysis via HEMSs.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding on the dynamically structural evolution of catalysts induced by reactant gases under working conditions is challenging but pivotal in catalyst design. Herein, in combination with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry for cluster reactions, cryogenic photoelectron imaging spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations, we identified that NO adsorption on rhodium-cerium bimetallic oxide cluster RhCeO2 - can create a Ce3+ ion in product RhCeO2 NO- that serves as the starting point to trigger the catalysis of NO reduction by CO. Theoretical calculations substantiated that the reduction of another two NO molecules into N2 O takes place exclusively on the Ce3+ ion while Rh behaves like a promoter to buffer electrons and cooperates with Ce3+ to drive NO reduction. Our finding demonstrates the importance of NO in regulating the catalytic behavior of Rh under reaction conditions and provides much-needed insights into the essence of NO reduction over Rh/CeO2 , one of the most efficient components in three-way catalysts for NOx removal.

Abstract
The rational design of high-efficiency catalysts is hindered by the knowledge of active sites, which always experience dynamic transformations within different time scales. In this regard, tracking these time-dependent processes is essential to building the correlation between the active site and catalytic performance. Achieving this goal requires powerful characterization techniques to overcome the obstacle induced by the time mismatch. By virtue of the local structure sensitivity, synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) comprising step-scanning XAS, quick-scanning XAS, and energy-dispersive XAS has been widely applied to record structural evolution events. In this Perspective, we highlight the substantial accomplishments achieved by these time-resolved XAS techniques. Their principles, advantages, and limitations involved in monitoring energy-involving electrocatalysis were also introduced. Meanwhile, the key challenges that we are encountering and the further directions of time-resolved XAS are also provided. We sincerely hope that these insights could offer a reliable guideline for other researchers to design more efficient in situ experiments.

Abstract
We conceptualize bioresource upgrade for sustainable energy, environment, and biomedicine with a focus on circular economy, sustainability, and carbon neutrality using high availability and low utilization biomass (HALUB). We acme energy-efficient technologies for sustainable energy and material recovery and applications. The technologies of thermochemical conversion (TC), biochemical conversion (BC), electrochemical conversion (EC), and photochemical conversion (PTC) are summarized for HALUB. Microalgal biomass could contribute to a biofuel HHV of 35.72 MJ Kg-1 and total benefit of 749 $/ton biomass via TC. Specific surface area of biochar reached 3000 m2 g-1 via pyrolytic carbonization of waste bean dregs. Lignocellulosic biomass can be effectively converted into bio-stimulants and biofertilizers via BC with a high conversion efficiency of more than 90%. Besides, lignocellulosic biomass can contribute to a current density of 672 mA m-2 via EC. Bioresource can be 100% selectively synthesized via electrocatalysis through EC and PTC. Machine learning, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis are essential to various upgrading approaches of HALUB. Sustainable biomaterials, sustainable living materials and technologies for biomedical and multifunctional applications like nano-catalysis, microfluidic and micro/nanomotors beyond are also highlighted. New techniques and systems for the complete conversion and utilization of HALUB for new energy and materials are further discussed.

Abstract
Strong metal-support interactions characteristic of the encapsulation of metal particles by oxide overlayers have been widely observed on large metal nanoparticles, but scarcely occur on small nanoclusters (<2 nm) for which the metal-support interactions remain elusive. Herein, we study the structural evolution of Pt nanoclusters (1.5 nm) supported on anatase TiO2 upon high-temperature H2 reduction. The Pt nanoclusters start to partially evolve into a CsCl-type PtTi intermetallic compound when the reduction temperature reaches 400 °C. Upon 700 °C reduction, the PtTi nanoparticles are exclusively formed and grow epitaxially along the TiO2 (101) crystal faces. The thermodynamics of the formation of PtTi via migration of reduced Ti atoms into Pt cluster is unraveled by theoretical calculations. The thermally stable PtTi intermetallic compound, with single-atom Pt isolated by Ti, exhibits enhanced catalytic activity and promoted catalytic durability for CO oxidation.

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
Zeolites with ordered microporous systems, distinct framework topologies, good spatial nanoconfinement effects, and superior (hydro)thermal stability are an ideal scaffold for planting diverse active metal species, including single sites, clusters, and nanoparticles in the framework and framework-associated sites and extra-framework positions, thus affording the metal-in-zeolite catalysts outstanding activity, unique shape selectivity, and enhanced stability and recyclability in the processes of Brønsted acid-, Lewis acid-, and extra-framework metal-catalyzed reactions. Especially, thanks to the advances in zeolite synthesis and characterization techniques in recent years, zeolite-confined extra-framework metal catalysts (denoted as metal@zeolite composites) have experienced rapid development in heterogeneous catalysis, owing to the combination of the merits of both active metal sites and zeolite intrinsic properties. In this review, we will present the recent developments of synthesis strategies for incorporating and tailoring of active metal sites in zeolites and advanced characterization techniques for identification of the location, distribution, and coordination environment of metal species in zeolites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of metal-in-zeolite catalysts are demonstrated, with an emphasis on the metal@zeolite composites in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions. Finally, we point out the current challenges and future perspectives on precise synthesis, atomic level identification, and practical application of the metal-in-zeolite catalyst system.

Abstract
Oxygen defects play an important role in many catalytic reactions. Increasing surface oxygen defects can be done through reduction treatment. However, excessive reduction blocks electron channels and deactivates the catalyst surface due to electron-trapped effects by subsurface oxygen defects. How to effectively extract electrons from subsurface oxygen defects which cannot directly interact with reactants is challenging and remains elusive. Here, we report a metallic In-embedded In2O3 nanoflake catalyst over which the turnover frequency of CO2 reduction into CO increases by a factor of 866 (7615 h−1) and 376 (2990 h−1) at the same light intensity and reaction temperature, respectively, compared to In2O3. Under electron-delocalization effect of O-In-(O)Vo-In-In structural units at the interface, the electrons in the subsurface oxygen defects are extracted and gather at surface active sites. This improves the electronic coupling with CO2 and stabilizes intermediate. The study opens up new insights for exquisite electronic manipulation of oxygen defects. How to effectively extract electrons from subsurface oxygen defects is challenging in heterogeneous catalysis. Here the authors demonstrate that Metallic In-embedded In2O3 nanoflake catalyst promotes the delocalization of electrons among subsurface oxygen defects, obviously increasing electron density of surface active sites.

Abstract
The catalytic activity and selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts are governed by atomic and electronic structures at the heterointerface between noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) and oxide substrates. In specific chemical reactions, it is well-known that the catalytic activity is strongly suppressed by annealing in a reducing atmosphere, so-called strong metal-support interaction (SMSI). However, it is still unclear the formation process and atomistic origin of the SMSI. By preparing well-defined platinum (Pt) NPs supported on atomically flat TiO2 (110) substrate, we directly show the formation of chemically ordered Pt-Ti intermetallic NPs and impregnation of NPs into TiO2 substrate at high temperatures by using atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Furthermore, we observed negative charge transfer from the Pt-Ti intermetallic NPs to the TiO2 surface, which would strongly affect the catalytic activities.

Abstract
Visualizing how a catalyst behaves during chemical reactions using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is crucial for understanding the activity origin and guiding performance optimization. However, the sample drifts as temperature changes during in situ reaction, which weakens the resolution and stability of TEM imaging, blocks insights into the dynamic details of catalytic reaction. Herein, a Thon-ring based sample position measurement (TSPM) was developed to track the sample height variation during in situ TEM observation. Drifting characteristics for three commercially available nanochips were studied, showing large biases in aspects of shifting modes, expansion heights, as well as the thermal conduction hysteresis during rapid heating. Particularly, utilizing the TSPM method, for the first time, the gas layer thickness inside a gas-cell nanoreactor was precisely determined, which varies with reaction temperature and gas pressure in a linear manner with coefficients of ~8 nm/°C and ~50 nm/mbar, respectively. Following drift prediction of TSPM, fast oxidation kinetics of a Ni particle was tracked in real time for 12 s at 500°C. This TSPM method is expected to facilitate the functionality of automatic target tracing for in situ microscopy applications when feedback to hardware control of the microscope.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts are often composite materials synthesized via several steps of chemical transformation, and thus the atomic structure in composite is a black-box. Herein with machine-learning-based atomic simulation we explore millions of structures for MFI zeolite encapsulated PtSn catalyst, demonstrating that the machine-learning enhanced large-scale potential energy surface scan offers a unique route to connect the thermodynamics and kinetics within catalysts' preparation procedure. The functionalities of the two stages in catalyst preparation are now clarified, namely, the oxidative clustering and the reductive transformation, which form separated Sn4O4 and PtSn alloy clusters in MFI. These confined clusters have high thermal stability at the intersection voids of MFI because of the formation of "Mortise-and-tenon Joinery". Among, the PtSn clusters with high Pt:Sn ratios (>1:1) are active for propane dehydrogenation to propene, ∼103 in turnover-of-frequency greater than conventional Pt3Sn metal. Key recipes to optimize zeolite-confined metal catalysts are predicted.

Abstract
Zeolites, owing to their great variety and complexity in structure and wide applications in chemistry, have long been the hot topic in chemical research. This perspective first presents a short retrospect of theoretical investigations on zeolites using the tools from classical force fields to quantum mechanics calculations and to the latest machine learning (ML) potential simulations. ML potentials as the next-generation technique for atomic simulation open new avenues to simulate and interpret zeolite systems and thus hold great promise for finally predicting the structure-functionality relation of zeolites. Recent advances using ML potentials are then summarized from two main aspects: the origin of zeolite stability and the mechanism of zeolite-related catalytic reactions. We also discussed the possible scenarios of ML potential application aiming to provide instantaneous and easy access of zeolite properties. These advanced applications could now be accomplished by combining cloud-computing-based techniques with ML potential-based atomic simulations. The future development of ML potentials for zeolites in the respects of improving the calculation accuracy, expanding the application scope and constructing the zeolite-related datasets is finally outlooked.

Abstract
The structural heterogeneity of surface metal species, which is represented by the distribution in size, morphology, and local coordination environment of the active metal component, is almost inevitable in practical supported metal catalysts. This is often regarded as a major hindrance to the full utilization of metal loading and the high mass-specific catalytic activity. In this work, by quantitative evaluation of the individual reaction steps of a probe reaction, cyclohexanol dehydrogenation (an important reaction for hydrogen storage and transportation as well as high valued chemical production), we demonstrate that the inherent heterogeneity of supported Rhodium catalysts prepared by conventional synthesis has unique advantages in a complex heterogeneous catalytic reaction. The isolated Rh species (Rh1) is extremely active for the first step of dehydrogenation, the transformation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone, while the Rh ensemble sites (Rhe, including Rh clusters, Rhn, and Rh nanoparticles, Rhp) are highly efficient for the successive reaction step, cyclohexanone to phenol, for which the Rh1 sites are almost inactive. Only with the coexistence of both active structures could the optimal reaction performance be achieved, which ambiguously demonstrates the importance of species heterogeneity in some multistep catalytic reactions. Our study provides a new view of the benefits from structural heterogeneity in practical catalysts and sheds light on the catalyst design strategy for complex catalytic reactions.

Abstract
A new mononuclear tungsten coordination compound, [WO2L(CH3OH)] (1), was synthesized by the reaction of WCl6 and H2L (H2L = (E)-4-amino-N′-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide) in methanol. Both the H2L and compound 1 were characterized by elemental analysis and UV-Vis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic methods. The molecular structure of compound 1 was also determined by single crystal X-ray analysis which confirmed the compound is a mononuclear coordination compound of cis-dioxidotungsten(vi) containing a free amine functionality on the ligand. Compound 1 was supported on propionyl chloride-functionalized silica gel by amidification reaction to obtain a heterogeneous catalyst. The obtained heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and its catalytic activity was investigated in the epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide under solvent free conditions. The catalyst was successfully recovered several times and the recovered catalyst was also characterized by various methods including FT-IR, DRS, TGA, SEM and EDX analyses. The results indicated this heterogeneous catalytic system is an effective and selective catalyst for epoxidation of olefins and can be reused several times without significant change in its catalytic activity. In this study the solvent free catalytic oxidation of olefins by a new silica supported hydrazone-dioxidotungsten(vi) coordination compound is investigated.![]()

Abstract
Fuel cells are considered as a promising alternative to the existing traditional energy systems towards a sustainable future. Nevertheless, the synthesis of efficient and robust platinum (Pt) based catalysts remains a challenge for practical applications. In this work, we present a simple and scalable molten-salt synthesis method for producing a low-platinum (Pt) nanoalloy implanted in metal-nitrogen-graphene. The as-prepared low-Pt alloyed graphene exhibits a high oxygen reduction activity of 1.29 A mgPt -1 and excellent durability over 30 000 potential cycles. The catalyst nanoarchitecture of graphene encased Pt nanoalloy provides a robust capability against nanoparticle migration and corrosion due to a strong metal-support interaction. Similarly, advanced characterization and theoretical calculations show that the multiple active sites in platinum alloyed graphene synergistically account for the improved oxygen reduction. This work not only provides an efficient and robust low-Pt catalyst but also a facile design idea and scalable preparation technique for integrated catalysts to achieve more profound applications in fuel cells and beyond.
