Electrocatalytic activity on single atoms catalysts: Synthesis strategies, characterization, classification, and energy conversion applications

Recent advances in interface engineering of Fe/Co/Ni-based heterostructure electrocatalysts for water splitting

“…The LOM, that is, the evolution of oxygen, may be related to the participation of lattice oxygen through follow-up studies. 56,57 Typically, the valence of metal cations in the catalyst does not change during the LOM process, and the driving force for LOM is the oxidation of lattice oxygen rather than the oxidation of cations to higher valence states. Unlike the AEM mechanism, LOM bypasses the limitation of AEM, pointing out that active sites are not limited to metal center.…”

“…Both theoretical calculations and experimental studies have shown that the electrocatalytic performance of composite catalyst materials is easier to optimize than the corresponding single-component compounds. 57,212,214…”

The synthesis of single-atom catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis

“…Considering that many papers regarding the photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and environmental catalysis of SACs have been reported, [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] only the remarkable cases of SACs for organic catalytic applications, such as oxidation and reduction reactions of small organic molecules, are highlighted in this review. In addition, the challenges and opportunities of SACs and the prospects for possible future development for this field are presented at the end of this review.…”

Trends and Prospects of Bulk and Single‐Atom Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

“…[41] However, a number of reviews can be found in the literature addressing the synthesis and application of SACs for a variety of electrochemical reactions. [38,[42][43][44][45] This review aims to provide a thorough overview of the progress made on the electrocatalytic application of SACs for the OER, highlight shortcomings, and identify future opportunities. It starts by discussing the fundamental mechanistic understanding of the OER and the stateof-the-art (SoA) noble, non-noble, and metal-free bulk electrocatalysts for it.…”
