With the ever-increased greenhouse effect and energy crisis, developing novel photocatalysts to realize high-efficient solar-driven chemicals/fuel production is of great scientific and practical significance. Recently, single-atom photocatalysts (SAPs) are promising catalysts with maximized metal dispersion and tuneable coordination environments. SAPs exhibit boosted photocatalytic performance by enhancing optical response, facilitating charge carrier transfer behaviors or directly manipulating surface reaction processes. In this regard, this article systematically reviews the state-of-the-art progress in the development and application of SAPs, especially the mechanism and performance of SAPs on various reaction processes. Some future challenges and potential research directions over SAPs are outlined at the final stage.
随着温室效应和能源危机的不断加剧，开发新型光催化剂以实现高效的太阳能驱动化学品/燃料生产具有重大的科学和实际意义。近年来，单原子光催化剂（SAPs）是具有最大金属分散度和可调谐配位环境的有前景的催化剂。SAPs通过增强光学响应、促进电荷载流子转移行为或直接操纵表面反应过程来展现出增强的光催化性能。在这方面，本文系统地综述了SAPs开发与应用的最新进展，特别是SAPs在各种反应过程中的机理和性能。在最后阶段概述了关于SAPs的一些未来挑战和潜在研究方向。
