Universal and scalable synthesis of photochromic single-atom catalysts for plastic recycling.

ABSTRACT: Metal oxide nanostructures with single-atomic heteroatom incorporation are of interest for many applications. However, a universal and scalable synthesis approach with high heteroatom concentrations represents a formidable challenge, primarily due to the pronounced structural disparities between M_hetero-O and M_sub-O units. Here, focusing on TiO₂ as the exemplified substrate, we present a diethylene glycol-assisted synthetic platform tailored for the controlled preparation of a library of M₁-TiO₂ nanostructures, encompassing 15 distinct unary M₁-TiO₂ nanostructures, along with two types of binary and ternary composites. Our approach capitalizes on the unique properties of diethylene glycol, affording precise kineti
