Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated remarkable potential in heterogeneous catalytic reactions. However, elucidating and precisely predicting the structure-activity relationships of SACs remain critical yet challenging for the rational design of high-performance catalysts. Reporting recently in Nature, Shi et al. uncover a linear relationship between the acetylene semi-hydrogenation activity of palladium (Pd1) SACs and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of oxide supports.
