About This Topic
Single Atom Catalysis (SAC) is one of the trending concepts in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, because that the existence of coordinatively unsaturated active sites, maximum atom utilization, unique electronic and geometrical properties different from their nanostructures could help the catalysts to exhibit superior catalytic performance. Recently, tremendous progress has been achieved in the area of SAC in the form of new strategy development for synthesis, characterization, and stabilization of single atoms and utilization of single atom catalysts, greatly expanding their applications in various fields, such as material science, energy science, and environmental science. This special issue focus on both fundamental and application aspects of the developments of SACs, for instance, the application of SACs in thermal catalytic, photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and plasma catalytic processes. We invite original research papers, review articles, and short essays.
The potential topics from the following research areas are expected:
Biomass conversion into fuels Greenhouse gases conversion into value added chemicals
Environmental applications
Photocatalytic applications
Hydrogen Production and Storage
Solar energy conversion

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
