Single-atom (SA) catalysts provide extensive possibilities in pursuing fantastic catalytic performances, while their preparation still suffers from metal aggregation and pore collapsing during pyrolysis. Here we report a versatile medium-induced infiltration deposition strategy for the fabrication of SAs hetero-SAs (MaN4/MbN4@NC; Ma = Cu, Co, Ni, Mn, Mb Fe, NC N-doped carbon). In-situ control experiments reveal that catalyst relies on "step-by-step" evolution Ma-containing metal-organic...
