Semi-hydrogenation of acetylene is of growing interest and popularity but subjects to a major challenge in selective hydrogenation to ethylene. Here, we report a strategy that uses graphdiyne (GDY) as a carrier to prepare single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), which on average clusters composed of three a...
