Thermal responsive Rh1-Pd single-atom catalyst for controlling activity in direct formic acid fuel cells [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSingle-atom catalysts are highly active for specific reactions; however, their sinter-resistance and clean surfaces make it difficult to impart them with a “smart” property.
