<p>Herein, we develop a non-selective charge compensation strategy to prepare multi-single-atom doped carbon (MSAC) in which a sodium p-toluenesulfonate (PTS-Na) doped polypyrrole (S-PPy) polymer is designed to anchor discretionary mixtures of multiple metal cations, including iron (Fe<sup>3+</sup>), cobalt (Co<sup>3+</sup>), ruthenium (Ru<sup>3+</sup>), palladium (Pd<sup>2+</sup>), indium (In<sup>3+</sup>), iridium (Ir<sup>2+</sup>), and platinum (Pt<sup>2+</sup>) . As illustrated in Figure 1, the carbon surface can be tuned with different level of compositional complexities, including unary Pt<sub>1</sub>@NC, binary (MSAC-2, (PtFe)<sub>1</sub>@NC), ternary (MSAC-3, (PtFeIr)<sub>1</sub>@NC), quaternary (MSAC-4, (PtFeIrRu)<sub>1</sub>@NC), quinary (MSAC-5, (PtFeIrRuCo)<sub>1</sub>@NC), senary (MSAC-6, (PtFeIrRuCoPd)<sub>1</sub>@NC), and septenary (MSAC-7, (PtFeIrRuCoPdIn)<sub>1</sub>@NC) samples. The structural evolution of carbon surface dictates the activities of both ORR and HER. The senary MSAC-6 achieves the ORR mass activity of 18.1 A·mg<sub>metal</sub><sup>-1</sup> at 0.9 V (Vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) over 30K cycles, which is 164 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. The quaternary MSAC-4 presented a comparable HER catalytic capability with that of Pt/C. These results indicate that the highly complexed carbon surface can enhance its ability over general electrochemical catalytic reactions. The mechanisms regarding of the ORR and HER activities of the alternated carbon surface are also theoretically and experimentally investigated in this work, showing that the synergistic effects amongst the co-doped atoms can activate or inactivate certain single-atom sites.</p>

Abstract Methane (CH4) oxidation to high value chemicals under mild conditions through photocatalysis is a sustainable and appealing pathway, nevertheless confronting the critical issues on both conversion and selectivity. Herein, under visible irradiation (420 nm), the synergy of palladium (Pd) atom cocatalyst and oxygen vacancies (OVs) on In2O3 nanorods enabled superior photocatalytic CH4 activation by O2. The optimised catalyst reached ca. 100 µmol·h− 1 of C1 oxygenates, with a selectivity of primary products (CH3OH and CH3OOH) up to 82.5 %. Mechanism investigation elucidated that such superior photocatalysis was induced by the dedicated function of Pd single atoms and oxygen vacancies on boosting hole and electron transfer pathway, respectively. O2 was proven to be the only oxygen source for CH3OH production, while H2O acted as the promoter for efficient CH4 activation through ·OH production and facilitated product desorption as indicated by DFT modelling. This work thus provides new understandings on simultaneous regulation of activity and selectivity by the significant synergy of single atom cocatalysts and oxygen vacancies.
