Single‐atom catalysis for carbon neutrality

Abstract Currently, more than 86% of global energy consumption is still mainly dependent on traditional fossil fuels, which causes resource scarcity and even emission of high amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), resulting in a severe “Greenhouse effect.” Considering this situation, the concept of “carbon neutrality” has been put forward by 125 countries one after another. To achieve the goals of “carbon neutrality,” two main strategies to reduce CO 2 emissions and develop sustainable clean energy can be adopted. Notably, these are crucial for the synthesis of advanced single‐atom catalysts (SACs) for energy‐related applications. In this review, we highlight unique SACs for conversion of CO 2 into high‐efficiency…
