Abstract

Single-atom photocatalysts have shown their compelling potential and arguably become the most active research direction in photocatalysis due to their fascinating strengths in enhancing light-harvesting, charge transfer dynamics, and surface reactions of a photocatalytic system. While numerous comprehensions about the single-atom photocatalysts have recently been amassed, advanced characterization techniques and vital theoretical studies are strengthening our understanding on these fascinating materials, allowing us to forecast their working mechanisms and applications in photocatalysis. In this review, we begin by describing the general background and definition of the single-atom photocatalysts. A brief…
