Abstract:

In recent years, with the intensive scientific research, single-atom catalysts(SACs) have been widely explored and utilized due to their outstanding features such as high activity and high selectivity. As a bridge connec?ting heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, study of SACs has become one of the most important courses in the catalytic field and has broad industrial application prospects. This paper firstly gives a brief overview of the development history, characteristics and applications of SACs, and then summarizes the current techno-economic analysis in the field of CO2 reduction and presents the first techno-economic calculations for single-atom materials. Finally, the future industrial applications of SACs in CO2 reduction and the key scientific and technical issues to be solved are also discussed.

Key words: Single-atom, Catalysis, CO2 Reduction, Techno-economic analysis, Industrial application
