Single Atom Catalysts: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications in Energy focuses on the synthesis, design, and advanced characterization techniques for single atom catalyst materials, and their direct energy conversion and storage applications. This book reviews current emerging applications of single atom catalysts in fuel cells, batteries, water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen fixation. Both noble metal and non-noble metal single atom catalysts (SACs) are discussed as noble metal-based SACs are highly efficient and non-noble metal-based SACs might have lower associated costs. There is an emphasis on materials design focused on improving performance of catalysts based on overall catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. Thus, specific parameters that impact this performance are emphasized throughout the book - single metal atom stabilization, metal-support interactions, and the coordination environment. Single atom catalysts (SACs) are recently emerging as a new frontier in material science. This book is of great interest to the students and researchers working in single atom catalysts towards a sustainable energy economy. Discusses the different intricate design and synthesis methods pertaining to various noble/non-noble metal-based SACs Delivers in-depth understanding about the structural, morphological, and physicochemical characterization techniques of synthesized SACs with data analysis and interpretation Describes state-of-the-art applications of SACs in renewable energy generation, their conversion, storage, and associated challenges
