Single-atom catalysts are widely investigated heterogeneous catalysts; however, the identification of the local environment of single atoms under experimental conditions is still challenging. Here, the authors clearly demonstrate that Rh single atoms adapt their local coordination and reactivity in response to various redox conditions.
