Fundamentals and applications of single-atom catalysts

Over the last five years, tremendous advances have been made in heterogeneous catalysis. In particular, catalysts' design from the bulk to single-atom scale (0.1-0.9 nm), with desirable active sites, has received great attention in current catalysis research with the aim to fill the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

This volume focuses on applications of single-atom catalysts. Articles describe principles of single-atom catalysts as well as applications in biomass conversion, water purification, CO2 upgrading, and other specific reactions. Readers will find examples of catalysts designed to be tunable for specific outcomes, inspiring their research. Scientists and engineers in chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and chemical engineering will find this volume useful.
