Precise design and tuning of the micro-atomic structure single atom catalysts (SACs) can help efficiently adapt complex catalytic systems. Herein, we inventively found that when active center main group element gallium (Ga) is downsized to atomic level, whose characteristic has significant differences from conventional bulk rigid Ga catalysts. The SACs with a P, S coordination environment display specific flow properties, showing CO products FE ≈92 % at -0.3 V vs. RHE in electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2 RR). Theoretical simulations demonstrate adaptive dynamic transition optimizes adsorption energy *COOH intermediate renews sites time, leading excellent RR selectivity stability. This liquid system interfaces lays foundation for future exploration synthesis catalysis.

Abstract Fe−N−C catalysts with single‐atom Fe−N 4 configurations are highly needed owing to the high activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, limited intrinsic and dissatisfactory durability have significantly restrained practical application of proton‐exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Here, we demonstrate that constructing adjacent metal atomic clusters (ACs) is effective in boosting ORR performance stability catalysts. The integration uniform Co ACs on N‐doped carbon substrate (Co @/Fe 1 @NC) realized through a “pre‐constrained” strategy using molecular Fe(acac) 3 implanted precursors. as‐developed @NC catalyst exhibits excellent half‐wave potential ( E 1/2 ) 0.835 V vs. RHE acidic media peak power density 840 mW cm −2 H 2 −O cell test. First‐principles calculations further clarify catalytic mechanism identified modified ACs. This work provides viable precisely establishing atomically dispersed polymetallic centers efficient energy‐related catalysis.

Photoreduction of CO2 into solar fuels has received great interest, but suffers from low catalytic efficiency and poor selectivity. Herein, two single-Cu-atom catalysts with unique Cu configurations in phosphorus-doped carbon nitride (PCN), namely, Cu1 N3 @PCN P3 were fabricated via selective phosphidation, tested visible light-driven reduction by H2 O without sacrificial agents. was exclusively active for CO production a rate 49.8 μmolCO gcat-1 h-1 , outperforming most polymeric (C3 N4 ) based catalysts, while preferably yielded . Experimental theoretical analysis suggested that doping P C3 replacing corner C atom upshifted the d-band center close to Fermi level, which boosted adsorption activation on making efficiently convert CO. In contrast, much lower 3d electron energy exhibited negligible adsorption, thereby preferring formation photocatalytic splitting.

Nano and single-atom catalysis open new possibilities of producing green hydrogen (H2 ) by water electrolysis. However, for the evolution reaction (HER) which occurs at a characteristic rate proportional to potential, fast generation H2 nanobubbles atomic-scale interfaces often leads blockage active sites.

Single-atom catalysts have exhibited great potential in the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to C2 products, but generation gaseous multi-carbon hydrocarbon products is still challenging. Previously, supports a single atom consist multiple elements, making C-C coupling difficult because coordination environment single-atom sites diversified and control. Here, we steer by implanting an Au on red phosphorus (Au1/RP), support with uniform structure composed element, lower electronegativity, better ability absorb CO2. The electron-rich atoms near can function as active for activation. effectively reduce energy barrier coupling, boosting reaction kinetics formation C2H6. Notably, C2H6 selectivity turnover frequency Au1/RP reach 96% 7.39 h-1 without sacrificial agent, respectively, which almost represents best photocatalyst chemical synthesis date. This research will provide new ideas design high-efficiency photocatalysts products.
