This research aims to explore how defect-induced metal trapping can enhance metal loading in single-atom catalysts.
Investigated the limitations of metal loading in single-atom catalysts.
Analyzed binding site availability and its impact on metal loading.
Examined the role of defects in enhancing metal binding.
Identified significant improvements in metal loading with defect-induced metal trapping.
Showed that increased binding sites lead to more effective photocatalytic activity.
Abstract
Despite its great promise, the practical use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is often limited by their unsatisfactory metal loading, primarily due to the limited availability of binding sites on the...
