Conversion of transitionmetals into their single-atom form has been regarded as an effectivestrategy to improve their catalytic activities and atom efficiencies1,2.
The unique electronic and structural properties of graphene oxides (GOs) may offer extraordinary potential in the design of high-performance molecular sensors and novel catalysts.
The structures of the metal nanoparticles are crucial for their catalytic activities.How to understand and even control the shape evolution of nanoparticles under reaction condition is a big challenge
The atomic step edges on a transition-metal (TM) surface play an important role in surface catalysis due totheir distinct reactivities from that of the terrace.
Grain boundary (GB) is one main type of defects in two-dimensional (2D) crystals,and has significant impact on the physical properties of 2D materials.Phosphorene,a recently synthesized 2D semiconduct
