Comprehensive resource presenting the synthesis, characterization, and applications in single-atom catalysis

Single-Atom Catalysis presents all facets of single-atom catalysis (SAC), including synthesis, characterization, and wide applications in all heterogeneous catalysis fields, including thermo-, photo-, and electrocatalysis. To aid in reader comprehension, the information clearly structured.

Edited by leading experts in the field, Single-Atom Catalysis covers:

* Atomic Layer Deposition, wet chemistry method, M-NC or 2-D materials supported SACs, and other synthesis approaches
* Spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations and tuning the activity and selectivity of catalytic reactions
* Applications, such as thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, electrochemical catalysis, heterogenization of homogeneous catalysis, and enzymatic catalysis
* Computational catalysis and surface chemistry catalysis, including dynamic single-atom and general single-atom catalysis, surface chemistry, and single-atom alloy catalysts

Single-Atom Catalysis is an indispensable source of information for researchers and academics working in the field, including catalytic chemists, surface chemists, spectroscopists, solid state chemists, theoretical chemists, and physical chemists.
