Atomically–Dispersed Metal Heterocatalysts: A Practical Step Toward Sustainability

Atomically‐dispersed heterogeneous metal catalysts can be considered as an “upgraded” version of classical solid catalysts. Unlike traditional metallic that contain nanoparticles or bulk micro‐sized transition species, the active sites these novel types are atomically distributed on support’s surface. This provides several advantages compared to such higher activity and need for just very small amounts precursors catalyst preparation. The latter issue is a key point in green chemical processes importance achieve low‐cost pathways industrial‐scale synthesis. dispersed permit maximum dispersion additionally allow more reproducible review summarizes overview breakthrough findings synthesis, applications characterization techniques developed area single‐atom, dual‐atom, single‐atom‐layer, single‐site well single‐atom nanozyme/enzyme catalysis. characteristics properties each system provide appropriate understanding designing nanomaterial optimized specific requirement.
