Description
Metal species with different size (single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) show different catalytic behavior for various heterogeneous catalytic reactions. In particular, single atom catalysis (SAC) offers great potential for achieving high activity and selectivity. The formation of vacancies over carbon materials is highly desired as they are potentially very interesting to stabilize metal single atoms or to confer specific properties. The main challenges concern the mass production and scale-up. The technology consists of a simple, straightforward chemical and up-scalable method of creation of vacancies in carbon materials and its direct utilization for the production of single atom dispersed materials.Applications
