Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) show promise in electrocatalysis because of their high atom utilization and unique properties. While SACs excel in atom efficiency, their isolated sites are limited to a single binding mode, which impedes the capture and coupling of reactants/intermediates in complex reactions. Atomically precise metal cluster catalysts offer more active sites with size- and shape-dependent physiochemical properties and improved activity/selectivity for intricate catalysis. The interfacial coupling in cluster electrocatalysts significantly impacts their properties and binding behaviors.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times.
