Key Points

This research aims to understand how metal coordination influences sulfur catalysis on single-atom catalysts (SACs).
Investigated the active sites of Ni single-atom catalysts for their efficiency in sulfur redox reactions.
Analyzed the anchoring capability and redox reaction barriers associated with these catalysts.
Identified a specific site on Ni single-atom catalysts as the most active for sulfur catalysis.
Demonstrated that optimal metal coordination lowers reaction barriers, enhancing catalytic performance.

Implication

Investigates the role of metal coordination in sulfur catalysis, suggesting improved performance for single-atom catalysts.

Abstract

site was identified as the most active center for catalyzing sulfur redox reactions, owing to its optimal anchoring capability and low redox reaction barrier. Our results open new avenues for fundamentally understanding the role of metal coordination in governing the catalytic performance of SACs for LSBs.
