Although single metal atoms (SMAs) have been extensively investigated as unique active sites in single-atom catalysts, the possible active sites of the host catalysts have been unfortunately neglected in previous studies.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is recognized as a favorable substrate of monoatom catalyst due to its uniform nanoholes for anchoring the metal monoatom, while the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential...

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.

Using density functional theory, we investigate the adsorption properties of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) on the outer surfaces of a (10,0) carbon nanotube (CNT) and a (8,0) triazine-based graphitic carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT).

Single-atom catalysis, which utilizes single atoms as active sites, is one of promising ways to enhance the catalytic activity and to reduce the amount of precious metals used. Here by means of density functional theory based thermodynamics we show that the single platinum atoms preferentially adsorb on the substitutional carbon sites at the hydrogen terminated graphene edge.
