Directly transforming copper (I) oxide bulk into isolated single-atom copper sites catalyst through gas-transport approach

Single-atom catalysts attract lots of attention, but direct transformation of bulk metal oxide into single atoms remains challenging. Here the authors report a gas-transport route to transform monolithic copper (I) oxide into copper single-atoms catalyst with a high activity for oxygen reduction.
