Towards dense single-atom catalysts for future automotive applications

CO oxidation is an important primary reaction in automotive catalysis, and has been studied extensively since the 1970s because of its fundamental nature and technological relevance to emission control regulations. In this Review, we investigate the development of state-of-the-art catalysts for CO oxidation and consider the important achievements in the design of good catalysts via a detailed scrutiny of CO oxidation pathways for single-atom and...
