Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts have become a hot-spot in catalysis field. However, for lack of metal-metal bond in SACs, H 2 has to go through heterolytic dissociation pathway, which has higher barrier than homolytic dissociation pathway,...
