摘要
Atomically dispersed catalysts(ADCs)have been diffusely researched for the development of advanced catalytic processes owing to their welldefined structure,high atomic utilization,and outstanding activity.Precisely decoding the intrinsic structures and coordination microenvironments of ADCs still confronts significant challenges.Overcoming these challenges is important for profound understanding of the structure-activity relationships and directing the future design of ADCs.Herein,this minireview summarizes recent progress and advanced characterization techniques for the engineering of ADCs,including single-atom catalysts,dualatom catalysts,and atomic cluster catalysts with regard to precise synthesis,structural regulation,and the structure-performance relationship.The catalytic merits and regulation strategies of recent breakthroughs in energy conversion,enzyme mimicry,and organic synthesis are thoroughly discussed to disclose the catalytic mechanism-guided ADCs design.Finally,a comprehensive summary of the future challenges and potential prospects is presented to stimulate more design and application possibilities for ADCs.We believe that this comprehensive minireview will open up novel pathways for the widespread utilization of ADCs in diverse catalytic processes.
