The Sabatier principle is a fundamental concept in heterogeneous catalysis that provides guidance for designing optimal catalysts with the highest activities. For the first time, we here report a new Sabatier phenomenon in hydrogenation reactions induced by single-atom density at the atomic scale. W...
