In situ formation of mononuclear complexes by reaction-induced atomic dispersion of supported noble metal nanoparticles

Supported noble metal nanoclusters and single-metal-sites catalysts are inclined to aggregate into particles. Here, the authors report a general method with CO and CH3I to disperse the metal nanoparticles of Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir and Pt completely into single atoms with loading up to 5 wt%.
