Deciphering the interaction patterns of intermediates on single atom catalysts during electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion reactions

Electrocatalytic CO₂ conversion (CO₂CR) offers a promising route for addressing carbon emissions while simultaneously generating valuable chemical feedstocks. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted significant attention due to their maximized metal atom utilization and precisely defined coordination architectures. Accumulating evidence indicates that CO₂CR over SACs is jointly governed by the intrinsic properties of the central metal atom and the surrounding
