Synergetic interaction between neighboring platinum and ruthenium monomers boosts CO oxidation.

ABSTRACT: Sub-nanometer noble metal catalysts, especially single atom (SA), are a new class of catalytic materials for boosting catalysis and possess unique catalytic properties and high atomic utilization efficiency. Exploring the interaction between two neighboring atom monomers has great potential to further improve the performance of SA catalysts and deepen the understanding on the catalytic mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis at the atomic level. Herein, we demonstrate that the synergetic effect between neighboring Pt and Ru monomers supported on N vacancy-rich g-C₃N₄ promotes the catalytic CO oxidation. The experimental observation and theoretical simulation reveal that the N vacancy in the g-C₃N₄ structure builds an optimized triangular sub-nanomet
