Introduction: This session will delve into the significant advancements and latest applications of single-atom catalysis in the contemporary field of chemical engineering. Single-atom catalysis demonstrates exceptional atomic efficiency and unique electronic structures through atomically dispersed catalysts, showcasing distinctive catalytic performances across more than thirty catalytic domains and exerting profound impacts in the field of energy catalysis. Concurrently, computational chemistry serves as a powerful tool for studying and predicting catalytic mechanisms, providing profound theoretical support for understanding the essence of single-atom catalytic reactions. We invite experts and scholars from relevant domestic and international fields to discuss the latest advancements in single-atom catalysis, including strategies for precise atomic-scale synthesis of single-atom catalysts, dynamic mechanisms of single-atom catalysis, novel techniques for characterizing single-atom catalysts, and the cutting-edge applications of computational chemistry and artificial intelligence in elucidating reaction mechanisms and predicting material properties. This session aims to foster academic exchange and collaboration, driving the interdisciplinary application and development of single-atom catalysis in chemical engineering science.
