Dual?Metal Atom Electrocatalysts: Theory, Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

Electrochemical clean energy conversion and the production of sustainable chemicals are critical in journey to realizing a truly society. To progress electrochemical storage devices commercialization, improving electrocatalyst performance cost utmost importance. Research into dual-metal atom catalysts (DACs) is rising prominence due advantages these sites over single-metal (SACs), such as breaking scaling relationships for adsorption reaction intermediates synergistic effects. This review provides an examination fundamental theoretical principles experimental DACs idealized half cells, well fuel before proceeding analyze methods used producing identifying DACs. Current challenges potential future research directions also discussed.
