Unraveling the coordination structure-performance relationship in Pt1/Fe2O3 single-atom catalyst

Abstract

In single-atom catalysts (SACs), little is known about how the coordination structure of single atoms affects the catalytic performance. Here, the authors discover that in Pt1/Fe2O3 SAC, the coordination number of the first shell Pt-O is well correlated with the Pt electronic property and the hydrogenation activity.
