Supported Metal Single Atom Catalysis

>Supported Metal Single Atom Catalysis
Covers all key aspects of supported metal single atom catalysts, an invaluable resource for academic researchers and industry professionals alike
Single atom catalysis is one of the most innovative and dynamic research areas in catalysis science. Supported metal catalysts are used extensively across the chemical industry, ranging from fine and bulk chemical production to petrochemicals. Single atom catalysts (SACs) combine the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts such as catalyst stability, activity, and high dispersion of the active phase.
Supported Metal Single Atom Catalysis provides an authoritative and up-to-date overview of the emerging field, covering the synthesis, preparation, characterization, modeling, and applications of SACs. This comprehensive volume introduces the basic principles of single atom catalysis, describes metal oxide and carbon support materials for SAC preparation, presents characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, and discusses SACs in areas including selective hydrogenation, oxidation reactions, activation of small molecules, C-C bond formation, and biomedical applications. - Highlights the activity, selectivity, and stability advantages of supported metal SACs compared to other heterogeneous catalysts
- Covers applications of SACs in thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis
- Includes chapters on single atom alloys and supported double and triple metal atom catalysts
- Discusses the prospects, challenges, and potential industrial applications of SACs

Supported Metal Single Atom Catalysis is an indispensable reference for all those working in the fields of catalysis, solid-state chemistry, materials science, and spectroscopy, including catalytic chemists, organic chemists, electrochemists, theoretical chemists, and industrial chemists.
