Abstract

. Advanced characterization techniques combined with density functional theory (DFT) elucidate the impact of these strategies on oxidation, reduction, and bifunctional catalytic reactions. This review highlights the significance of symmetry-breaking structures in catalysis and underscores the need for further research to achieve precise control at the atomic-level.
