Supported Ni Single-Atom Catalysts: Synthesis, Structure, and Applications in Thermocatalytic Reactions

Nickel is a well-known catalyst in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. It currently used industrial processes as homogenous heterogeneous catalyst. However, to reduce the cost increase efficiency of catalytic processes, development single-atom catalysts (SACs) seems promising. Some SACs have already shown increased activity stability compared nanoparticle catalysts. From year year, number reports devoted nickel growing rapidly. Among them, there are very few articles thermal catalysis, but at same time, this subject important. Thus, review discusses recent advances synthesis, structure, application SACs, mainly hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions dry reforming methane. The collected analyzed data can be useful novel for various processes.
