Single-Atom Engineering for Next Generation Rechargeable Batteries

Single-atom engineering (SAE) is a promising approach for next-generation rechargeable batteries due to its maximal atom utilization, high catalytic activity, and tunable selectivity. However, the incomplete understanding of the microenvironment of single atoms and their electrochemical behavior limits their practical application in rechargeable batteries. Most existing review articles either discuss battery chemistry or characterization techniques …

Precision Engineering of Nanorobots: Toward Single Atom Decoration and Defect Control for Enhanced Microplastic Capture

Nanorobots are being received with a great attention for their move-sense-and-act capabilities that often originate from catalytic decomposition of fuels. In the past decade, single-atom engineering has demonstrated exceptional efficiency in catalysis, energy-related technologies, and medicine. Here, a novel approach involving point defect engineering and the incorporation of platinum (Pt) single atoms and atomic level …
