The future of single-atom catalysis: From academic insights to industrial application

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Single-atom catalysts and related materials offer great potential for selective, sustainable catalysis, but developing stable and uniform catalysts suitable for large-scale application remains challenging. This Voices article shares perspectives from six researchers on opportunities in the field to bridge fundamental studies and industrial application, in order to unlock the potential of these fascinating catalysts.
