Single metal atom catalysts exhibit extraordinary activity in a large number of reactions, and some two-dimensional materials (such as graphene and h-BN) are found to be prominent supports to stabilize single metal atoms.

CO oxidation by four M@GDY single-atom catalysts (M = Pt, Rh, Cu, and Ni) is studied by van der Waals density functional theory. The non-noble Cu@GDY exhibits a CO oxidation activity comparable to the noble Rh@GDY and Pt@GDY, while Ni@GDY does not.

Density functional theory calculations have been used to study the incorporation of helium in perfect and defect-containing palladium tritides, where we have calculated the energetics of incorporation and the migration behaviour. Helium atoms preferably occupy the octahedral interstitial and substitutional sites in the perfect and Pd vacancy-containing tritides, respectively. The energetics reveal that helium clusters can form in the lattice, which displace the Pd metal atoms. The defective lattice shows less expansion compared with the perfect lattice, which can accommodate the helium less easily. The path from octahedral–tetrahedral–octahedral sites is the lowest energy pathway for helium diffusion, and the energetics indicate that the helium generated from tritium decay can accumulate in or near the octahedral sites. Density of states analyses shows the hybridization between palladium d and tritium s orbitals and repulsion between palladium d and helium s orbitals, which can distort the lattice as a result of generating localized stress.

The development of single-atom catalysts (SACs) for electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) remains a great challenge. Using density functional theory calculations, we design a new family of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks...
