The creation of single-atom catalysts in a large-size, high-yield, and stable form represents an important direction for high-efficiency industrial catalysis in the future. Herein, we report a strategy to synthesize flexible single-atom monolithic catalysts (SAMCs) based on the hierarchical 3D assembly of single-atom-loaded oxide ceramic nanofibers. The nanofibers, which can be produced in a continuous and scalable manner, serve as an ideal support for single atoms spontaneously and almost completely exposed at the surface through the Kirkendall effect-enabled ion migration during the spinning process, resulting in both high yield and large loading quantity. Moreover, the hierarchical 3D assembly of these nanofibers into a porous, flexible structure endows the SAMCs with the advantages of sufficient infiltration and oscillation tolerance when faced with high-throughput gaseous media, leading to both high catalytic efficiency and excellent durability. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a Pt SAMC is synthesized, which exhibits 100% CO oxidation at low temperature (∼170 °C), excellent invariance toward high-frequency (10 Hz) oscillation, and high structural stability from 25 to 300 °C. This work is beneficial for the large-scale production of SAMCs in broad industrial applications.

In the era of atomic manufacturing, the precise manipulation of atomic structures to engineer highly active catalytic sites has become a central focus in catalysis research. Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have garnered significant attention for their superior activity, selectivity, and stability compared to single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, a comprehensive review that integrates geometric and electronic factors influencing DAC performance remains limited.

Dual single-atom catalysts have attracted considerable research interest due to their higher metal atom loading and more flexible active sites compared to single-atom catalysts (SACs). We pioneered the one-step synthesis of sheets copper-cobalt graphitic carbon nitride dual single-atom (S-Cu/Co-g-C3N4) using folding fan-shaped aluminum foil as a template, and used them as catalysts in the epoxidation of styrene respectively. Through XAFS（X-ray Absorption Fine Structure） and other characterizations, it is found that Cu and Co single atoms are stabilized separately on g-C3N4 via coordination with nitrogen (N), hindered the ordered growth of sheets, and formed more pore structures, which not only increased more catalytically active sites, but also effectively prevented the flakes re-aggregate during the catalytic process.

Currently, there are still obstacles to rationally designing the ligand fields to activate rare-earth (RE) elements with satisfactory intrinsic electrocatalytic reactivity. Herein, axial coordination strategies and nanostructure design are applied for the construction of La single atoms (La-Cl SAs/NHPC) with satisfactory oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. The nontrivial LaNCl motifs configuration and the hierarchical porous carbon substrate that facilitates maximized metal atom utilization ensure high half-wave potential (0.

A multi-functional single-Fe-atom nanozyme (Fe-SAzyme) is designed, integrating the near-infrared photothermal property, the ability to carry chemoagent (doxorubicin - DOX), and nanocatalytic activities mimicking peroxidase, oxidase, and glutathione oxidase. The nanocatalytic activities act cooperatively to effectively produce cytotoxic radicals in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby leading to ferroptosis of cancer cells. The photothermal effect not only enhances the nanocatalytic therapy but also enables photothermal therapy.

Curvature-induced interfacial electric field effects and local strain engineering offer a powerful approach for optimizing the intrinsic catalytic activity of single-atom catalysts (SACs). Investigations into the surface curvature on SACs are still ongoing, and the impact of the concave surface is often overlooked. In this work, theoretical calculations indicate that curved surfaces, particularly those with concavity, can optimize the electronic structures of single Fe sites and facilitate the reductive release of *OH.
