Abstract
with a single Pd atom improves catalyst/s performance via lowering the barriers associated with hydrogen dissociation steps that occur on the Pd atom. The above-mentioned results suggest that the doping strategy at the level of single atoms can offer a precise control knob for designing new catalysts with desired performance.
