Single atom catalyst by atomic layer deposition technique

Noble singleatom catalysts have rapidly been attracting attention due to their unique catalytic properties and maximized utilization. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an emerging powerful technique for large-scale synthesis of stable single atom. In this review, we summarize recent developments of single atom synthesized by ALD as well as explore future research direction and trends.
