Abstract

As the frontier of catalyst, single atom catalyst (SAC) with unique features is becoming hot topic recent years. Herein, we summarized the classification, preparation, characterization, and application of single atom catalyst, and the current bottlenecks and the outlooks of the SAC research are discussed. Single atom catalyst (SAC) refers to a novel catalyst with the active metal atoms individually anchored on the support. Single atom catalysts present the unique appeal due to the high atomic availability and specific activity, as well as the high pathway selectivity. Herein, we summarized the classification, preparation, characterization, and application of single atom catalysts. Finally, the current bottlenecks and the outlooks of the SAC research are discussed.
