The International Symposium on Single-Atom Catalysis (ISSAC) is the world’s most authoritative academic conference in the field of single-atom catalysis. Previous editions were held in Dalian (China), Beijing (China), and California, USA (canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The 4th edition (ISSAC-4) will be jointly held with the 10th Asia-Pacific Congress on Catalysis (APCAT-10) in 2025, m... [more]

​Propane dehydrogenation reaction (PDH) is a highly endothermic reaction, typically requiring temperature above 600°C in conventional thermo-catalysis. However, elevated temperatures lead to significant energy consumption, catalyst sintering, and coke deposition. Overcoming these thermodynamic and kinetic challenges to achieve propane dehydrogenation under ambient conditions remains a major go... [more]

Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy conversions. In essential, the activity and stability of SACs are governed by the pair of metal-adsorbate and metal-support interactions. However, the rationale of these interactions with their cata... [more]
