Because of their maximum atom-utilization efficiency and unique catalytic properties, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have sparked intense interests in recent years. However, most of the reported SACs are limited to single-site active components, with rare reports on catalyst promoters in their single forms. Because promoters are essential components in many industrial catalysts, the exploration of the preparation of single-site promoters should be of great interest in catalysis, both in fundamentals and application research. Similar to SACs, these single sited promoters have structural simplicity and homogeneity, and its synergistic effect on the catalytic reaction should be unique but yet clarified.
