Single-Atom Catalysis is written by Mario Pagliaro and published by Elsevier. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0128190884 (ISBN 10) and 9780128190883 (ISBN 13).

Single-atom catalysis has advanced significantly since first being reported less than a decade ago, and recent developments suggest it can potentially offer better activity, stability and selectivity than related approaches, improving the sustainability of reactions. Single-Atom Catalysis reviews the latest developments, asking if this can become a technically and economically viable technology, and discussing what hurdles must be overcome to encourage its uptake. Beginning with an introduction to single-atom catalysis and current developments in the field, the book goes on to review its role in potentially disruptive technologies, with a particular focus on applications in synthetic organic chemistry, solar hydrogen technologies, and low platinum/platinum-free fuel cells. In then goes on to discuss the steps needed for single-atom catalysis to become an industrially viable technology, and the future outlook for the technology. Based on the extensive experience of its award-winning author, Single-Atom Catalysis provides an authoritative guide to this novel approach. It aims to provide an update on current developments and encourage further discussion and growth within both the academic and industrial sustainability research communities. Explains the applications of single-atom catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry, solar hydrogen technologies, and low platinum/ platinum-free fuel cells Updates on recent research developments Anticipates technical and economic challenges in the integration of single-atom catalysis
