Cover Feature: Single Atom Catalysts on Carbon‐Based Materials (ChemCatChem 22/2018)

Abstract

The Cover Feature is an artistic view of a single atom catalyst (SAC) on a carbon material as it crosses the activation barrier of a catalytic reaction. In their Review, C. Rivera-Cárcamo and P. Serp present a complete overview of SAC on carbon materials. The types of carbon materials for single atom deposition, and the structure of the adsorption sites are discussed. Then, the main SAC characterization techniques, and the preparation methods for this new type of catalysts are presented. A discussion of the performances of these catalysts in thermal-, photo-, and electrocatalysis is included. More information can be found in the Review by C. Rivera-Cárcamo and P. Serp on page 5058 in Issue 22, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201801174).
