Virtual Workshop on Single Atom Catalysis

Welcome

Single atom catalysis is an actual, promising and rapidly growing field in catalysis with many possible applications. Given the potential of these catalysts in synthesis, sustainable transformations and heterogeneous catalysis in general, we feel the need to organize a focused virtual meeting on this exciting area, highlighting the various aspects of single atom catalysis (catalyst synthesis and characterization, application, theoretical modelling).
