Promoting Dinuclear-Type Catalysis in Cu1-C3N4 Single-Atom Catalysts

Jingting Song et al.

Summary: Reducing the particle size in supported metal catalysts to single-atom level isolates the active sites and maximizes atomic utilization efficiency. However, the large inter-atom distance in low-loading single-atom catalysts is not favorable for complex reactions. This study demonstrates that reducing the inter-atom distance of copper catalysts supported on carbon nitride allows for dinuclear-type coactivation at adjacent metal sites.
