Using In Situ TEM to Understand the Surfaces of Electrocatalysts at Reaction Conditions: Single-Atoms to Nanoparticles
Catalytic activity is improved by reducing particle size, followed by atomic scale structural and chemical design, allowing physical and electronic confinement of chemical conversion centers. These concepts culminate in single-atom catalysts (SACs) where active precious metal atoms are isolated and anchored on the surface of supports and thus fully utilized for chemical conversion. In contrast, me
