TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations show that the high catalytic activity correlates with the partially vacant 5d orbitals of the positively charged, high-valent Pt atoms, which help to reduce both the CO adsorption energy and the activation barriers for CO oxidation.

TL;DR: Recent advances in preparation, characterization, and catalytic performance of SACs are highlighted, with a focus on single atoms anchored to metal oxides, metal surfaces, and graphene, offering the potential for applications in a variety of industrial chemical reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the atomically dispersed nickel on nitrogenated graphene was identified as an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction based on operando X-ray absorption and photo-electron spectroscopy measurements, and the monovalent Ni(i) atomic center with a d9 electronic configuration is identified as the catalytically active site.

TL;DR: FeOx-supported platinum single-atom and pseudo-single-atom structures are reported as highly active, chemoselective and reusable catalysts for hydrogenation of a variety of substituted nitroarenes.

TL;DR: It is emphasized that inflammatory monocyte subsets are valuable biomarkers for inflammatory diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as a potential mechanism for monocyte differentiation.
