Single-atom catalysts (SACs) provide an ideal platform for reducing noble-metal usage. SACs also exhibit unusual catalytic properties due to the absence of a metal surface. The role support may have significant effect on properties, similar that ligand molecules in homogeneous catalysts. Here, was demonstrated by preparing single-atom platinum catalyst two different supports: titanium carbide (Pt1/TiC) and nitride (Pt1/TiN). formation Pt confirmed STEM, EXAFS, situ IR spectroscopy. Pt1/TiC...

Abstract Single atomic Pt catalyst can offer efficient utilization of the expensive platinum and provide unique selectivity because it lacks ensemble sites. However, designing such a with high loading good durability is very challenging. Here, single supported on antimony‐doped tin oxide (Pt1/ATO) synthesized by conventional incipient wetness impregnation, up to 8 wt% Pt.

Platinum was epitaxially deposited on gold octahedral nanocrystals using an electrochemical method. The coverage of platinum the surface finely controlled from fully covered multiple overlayers (5 monolayers; denoted as ML) to atomically dispersed submonolayer (0.05 ML). Catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation increased significantly (0.52 A/mgPt 5 ML 62.6 0.05 with decreasing coverage. This high resulted control reaction pathway toward direct producing no surface-poisoning species,...
