Abstract The homogeneity of single-atom catalysts is only to the first-order approximation when all isolated metal centers interact identically with support. Since realistic support various topologies or defects offers diverse coordination environments, realizing real requires precise control over anchoring sites. In this work, we selectively anchor Ir single atoms onto three-fold hollow sites (Ir 1 /T O –CoOOH) and oxygen vacancies /V on defective CoOOH surface investigate how modulate...
