Chemical modification of graphene for atomic-scale catalyst supports

Abstract One promising way to reduce the use of noble metal catalysts is extremely fine particle catalysts, such as subnanoclusters and single-atom catalysts. For practical use, suppression diffusion agglomeration are needed. Heteroatom-doped graphene, which has high specific surface area, chemical mechanical stabilities, electrical thermal conductivities, contains anchoring sites for catalyst support. graphene can widely control support effects. This review summarizes recent dopant structure characterization using spectroscopy density functional theory calculations. The distribution highly-dispersed their properties discussed. In addition, effects environmental conditions on dynamic behaviors introduced. Finally, outlook heteroatom-doped new two-dimensional material supports
