Classical strong metal–support interactions (SMSI), which play a crucial role in the preparation of supported metal nanoparticle catalysts, is one most important concepts heterogeneous catalysis. The conventional wisdom for construction classical SMSI involves redox treatments at high-temperatures by molecular oxygen or hydrogen, sometimes causing sintered nanoparticles before formation. Herein, we report that aforementioned issue can be effectively avoided wet-chemistry methodology. As...

Single-atom introduced carbon nanomaterials show favorable oxygen-reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen-evolution (OER) performance for renewable energy applications. Nevertheless, the electronic-structure regulation by decorating heterogeneous single-metal-atoms engineering of a single-atom active-sites' microenvironment need to be optimized simultaneously, which is challenging. Herein, we develop an atomic-interfacial-regulation approach fabricate dual single Fe/Co atoms synchronized with...
