Abstract:

Noble single-atom catalysts have rapidly been attracting attention due to their unique catalytic properties and maximized utilization. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an emerging powerful tech-nique for large-scale synthesis of stable single atom. In this review, we summarize recent develop-ments of single atom synthesized by ALD as well as explore future research direction and trends.

Key words: Single-atom, Atomic layer deposition, Catalysis, Noble catalyst, Mechanism
