Atomically Precise Electrocatalysts: Single/Dual/Multi-atom Catalysts

A possible strategy is to create electrochemical methods of conversion that may utilize renewable energy to transform airborne molecules like water, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide into commodities with value added. Due to their ability to influence the rate, effectiveness, and specificity of chemical transformation responses, electrocatalysts serve a vital part in these processes. The generation of energy that is environmentally friendly relies heavily on electrochemical energy transformations. Nevertheless, the outcome falls short of expectations since there are no highly effective and reliable electrocatalysts. Because of their high operation, stability, and potential to maximize utilization effectiveness, single, dual, and multi-atom catalysts have recently become hot study subjects in the field of electrocatalysis. The synthesis, characterization, and computer modeling of nanoscale materials have seen ongoing advancements. Hence the present book chapter discusses the important electrocatalytic applications of atomically precise Single/Dual/Multi-atom catalysts toward electrochemical energy applications. We expect that this chapter can offer perspectives for logical planning and effective formulation of improved electrocatalysts with atomic precision by examining structure–activity/stability correlations and electrochemical processes of diverse atomically precise electrocatalysts.
