Abstract

The highly successful application of supported metals as heterogeneous catalysts in automotive catalysts, fuel cells, and a multitudes of other industrial processes has led to extensive efforts to understand catalyst behavior at the nanoscale. Recent discovery of simple wet methods to prepare single supported atoms, the smallest nano-catalyst, has allowed for experimental validation of catalytic activity of a variety of single atom catalysts and potential for large-scale production of such catalysts for industrial processes. This chapter summarizes the synthetic and structural aspects of single supported atoms. Proposed mechanisms are also presented for the activity of single supported catalysts where conventional mechanisms cannot operate due to lack of M-M bonds in the catalysts.
