Article Synopsis
- The direct pyrolysis of metal-zeolite imidazolate frameworks has been found to be an effective method for creating single-atom catalysts (M/NC-SACs) that perform well in semihydrogenation reactions, particularly for small molecules like acetylene.
- Despite their effectiveness, M/NC-SACs struggle with larger molecules due to poor reactant adsorption and limited molecular movement.
- A newly designed dual single-atom catalyst (h-Pd-Mn/NC) with hollow mesopores showed dramatically improved activity and selectivity for phenylacetylene, achieving 16 times more efficiency than the traditional Lindlar catalyst, thanks to its unique mesopore structure and the effects of atomically dispersed manganese.
