TL;DR: In this paper, single-atom site catalysts (SACs) have attracted much attention in catalysis owing to their 100% atom efficiency and unique catalytic performances towards various reactions, including model reaction (CO oxidation, NO reduction and hydrocarbon oxidation), overall reaction (threeway catalytic and diesel oxidation reaction), elimination of volatile organic compounds (formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene), and removal/decomposition of other pollutants (Hg0 and SO3).

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrocatalyst that comprises isolated FeN4/PtN4 moieties dispersed in the nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (FeN4 /Pt-N4 @NC) exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.93 V vs. RHE and negligible activity degradation (ΔE1/2 =8 mV) after 10000 cycles in 0.1 M KOH.

TL;DR: The Ag 1 /MnO 2 catalyst shows remarkable performance for CO 2 RR, far surpassing the conventional Ag nanosized catalyst (Ag NP /MmO 2 ) and other reported Ag-based catalysts.

TL;DR: The density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the intrinsic reason for the superior activity of Pd 2 DAC toward CO 2 RR was the electron transfer between Pd atoms at the dimeric Pd sites, which was beneficial for CO production in CO 2RR.

TL;DR: Experimental analysis combined with DFT calculations suggested that single P atom in high coordination shells, in particular the third coordination shell of Fe center enhanced the electronic localization of Fe, which improved the stabilization of the key *COOH intermediate on Fe, leading to superior CO 2 electrochemical reduction performance at low overpotentials.
