Facile fabrication of single-atom catalysts by a plasma-etching strategy for oxygen reduction reaction

Abstract

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are one of the most promising candidates to catalyze various electrochemical reactions, due to the maximum atom utilizations and unique electronic structures. However, the general methods for...

Chemical vapor deposition towards atomically dispersed iron catalysts for efficient oxygen reduction

“…In contrast to the previously reported impregnation methods that rely on the physical capture between the metal precursor and the support in the solvent, the efficiency of single-atom vapor deposition depends on the pore structure of the MOF to avoid agglomeration, thus achieving a high load of the metal content. 30,31 X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns (Fig. 2a) of the Fe-SA/NC catalysts presented two broad peaks for the graphite carbon.…”

Recent Developments of Atomically Dispersed Metal Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction†

“…A large number of defects on the NC capture and anchor Cu atoms forming the active site of Cu‐po‐N 3 with a theoretical overpotential of only 0.21 V and excellent stability. [ 74 ]…”

Single-atom catalysts for catalytic benzene oxidation to phenol: recent progress and future perspectives

“…Cu SACs are emerging as promising catalysts and attracting great interest for driving some key reactions, such as electrocatalytic energy conversion (e.g. electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction, [78][79][80][81] oxygen reduction reaction, [82][83][84] nitrogen reduction reaction, 85 and nitrate reduction reaction 86,87 ), photocatalytic reactions (e.g. photocatalytic CO 2 reduction 88 and hydrogen evolution reaction 89,90 ) and heterogeneous reactions (e.g.…”
