Taking CO oxidation as a probe, we investigated the electronic structure and reactivity of Pt atoms stabilized by vacancy defects on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) by first-principles-based calculations.

We evaluated isolated transition metal atoms (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Ni) embedded in hexagonal-BN as novel single atom catalysts for CO oxidation. We predicted that embedded Ni atoms should have superior performance for this task. Ti, V, and Mn bind CO2 too strongly and so the reaction will not proceed smoothly. We studied the detailed reaction processes for Sc, Cr, and Ni. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH), Eley–Rideal (ER), and the new termolecular Eley–Rideal (TER) processes for CO oxidation were investigated. Sc was not effective. Cr primarily used the ER process, although the barrier was relatively large at 1.30 eV. Ni was the best of the group, with a 0.44 eV barrier for LH, and a 0.47 eV barrier for TER. Therefore, we predicted that the LH and TER processes could operate at relatively low temperatures between 300 and 500 K.

Single cobalt atoms supported by a defective two-dimensional boron nitride material catalyze the ORR via a direct 4e− pathway with a largest activation barrier of 0.3 eV.
