About This Topic

Single Atom Catalysis (SAC) is one of the trending concepts in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, because that the existence of coordinatively unsaturated active sites, maximum atom utilization, unique electronic and geometrical properties different from their nanostructures could help the catalysts to exhibit superior catalytic performance. Recently, tremendous progress has been achieved in the area of SAC in the form of new strategy development for synthesis, characterization, and stabilization of single atoms and utilization of single atom catalysts, greatly expanding their applications in various fields, such as material science, energy science, and environmental science. This special issue focus on both fundamental and application aspects of the developments of SACs, for instance, the application of SACs in thermal catalytic, photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and plasma catalytic processes. We invite original research papers, review articles, and short essays.

The potential topics from the following research areas are expected:

Biomass conversion into fuels Greenhouse gases conversion into value added chemicals
Environmental applications
Photocatalytic applications
Hydrogen Production and Storage
Solar energy conversion
