Single-Atom Catalysis: A Forthcoming Revolution in Chemistry reviews the latest developments, including whether or not this technology can become a technically and economically viable choice and whether existing challenges can be overcome to encourage its uptake. Beginning with an introduction to single-atom catalysis and current developments in the field, the book then reviews its role in potentially disruptive technologies, with a particular focus on applications in synthetic organic chemistry, solar hydrogen technologies and low platinum/platinum-free fuel cells.

Other sections cover the steps needed for single-atom catalysis to become an industrially viable technology and its future outlook. Based on the extensive experience of its award-winning author, this book provides an authoritative guide on this novel approach.

  • Explains the applications of single-atom catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry, solar hydrogen technologies and low platinum/ platinum-free fuel cells
  • Updates on recent research developments in this emerging area
  • Anticipates technical and economic challenges in the integration of single-atom catalysis
