Electrocatalysis of Single-Atom Sites: Impacts of Atomic Coordination

Single metal atoms embedded within select supporting matrices have shown great potential in the development of high-efficiency, low-cost electrocatalysts because of maximal atom utilization and mass activity. As the single metal atoms are stabilized by coordination bonds with the substrate, the strong metal–support interactions can be exploited for ready manipulation of the electrocatalytic activity and selectivity toward target reactions....
