Shifting the scaling relations of single-atom catalysts for facile methane activation by tuning the coordination number

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: a radical-like transition state by moving the scaling lines. Thus, in the new design strategy suggested here, different from the conventional efforts focusing mainly on breaking the scaling relations, one maintains the scaling relations but moves them towards more reactive regions by controlling the coordination number of the active sites. With this design principle, we suggest several single atom catalysts with lower C-H activation barriers than some of the most active methane activation catalysts in the literature such as Cu-based zeolites.
