Large Scale Synthesis of Transition Metal Single Atom Catalysts by a Universal Ligand Mediated Method

Abstract

Series of transition metal single atom catalysts containing Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru, Pt or combinations thereof were synthesized in a large scale by a universal ligand mediated method. The as-synthesized single atom catalysts exhibited excellent electrochemical CO₂ reduction activity.
