Article Synopsis
- A key challenge in single-atom (SA) catalysis is creating fully inorganic sites that can achieve the high reaction selectivity typically seen in organometallic catalysts used in homogeneous catalysis.
- Researchers have found that isolated rhodium (Rh) atoms on oxygen-defective SnO can achieve high turnover frequency (TOF) and excellent selectivity for gas-phase hydroformylation of ethylene while preventing unwanted olefin hydrogenation.
- The study demonstrates that a significant reduction of lattice oxygen in the SnO surface allows for greater flexibility in the coordination of Rh atoms, resulting in exceptional catalytic performance comparable to liquid-phase molecular catalysts.
