Abstract
Abstract Understanding the site interaction nature of single‐atom catalysts (SACs), especially densely populated SACs, is vital for their application to various catalytic reactions. Herein, we report a site distance effect, which emphasizes how well the distance of the adjacent copper atoms (denoted as d Cu1−Cu1 ) matches with the reactant peroxydisulfate (PDS) molecular size to determine the Fenton‐like reaction reactivity on the carbon‐supported SACs. The optimized d Cu1−Cu1 in the range of 5–6 Å, which matches the molecular size of PDS, endows the catalyst with a nearly two times higher turnover frequency than that of d Cu1−Cu1 beyond this range, accordingly achieving record‐breaking kinetics for the…
