Isolated Transition Metal Atoms on Defect- Engineered Graphene: Synthesis and Catalytic Oxidation of Indoor Volatile Organic Compounds

Single atom heterogeneous catalysts (SAHCs) are an emerging class of materials that are much sought after as heterogeneous nanocatalysts. SAHCs have several isolated single atoms of an active metal anchored on the surface of a support materials such as metal oxides, SiO 2 or carbon. The most important challenge in SAHCs is the stabilization of single isolated atoms on a support during the synthesis as well as during the reaction.
