Although single-atomically dispersed metal-N x on carbon support (M-NC) has great potential in heterogeneous catalysis, the scalable synthesis of such single-atom catalysts (SACs) with high-loading metal-N x is greatly challenging since the loading and single-atomic dispersion have to be balanced at...
