Subnanometer-confined reaction is the frontier of catalytic chemistry, yet it is challenging to form the angstrom channels with distributed atomic catalytic centers within, and to match the internal mass transfer and the reactive species’ lifetimes. Here, the authors resolve these issues by applying the concept of the angstrom-confined catalytic water contaminant degradation.
