Supported metal catalysts at the single-atom limit-A viewpoint

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(17)62886-9

Abstract

Abstract:

An account of recent work on supported single-atom catalyst design is given here for reactions as diverse as the low-temperature water-gas shift, methanol steam reforming, selective ethanol dehydrogenation, and selective hydrogenation of alkynes and dienes. It is of fundamental interest to investigate the intrinsic activity and selectivity of the active metal atom site and compare them to the properties of the corresponding metal nanoparticles and sub-nm clusters. It is also important to understand what constitutes a stable active metal atom site in the various reaction environments, and maximize their loadings to allow us to design robust catalysts for industrial applications. Combined activity and stability studies, ideally following the evolution of the active site as a function of catalyst treatment in real time are recommended. Advanced characterization methods with atomic resolution will play a key role here and will be used to guide the design of new catalysts.

Key words: Single atom alloys, Gold, Palladium, Supported single atom catalysts, Water-gas shift, Methanol steam reforming, Ethanol dehydrogenation, Butadiene hydrogenation
