Nanotechnology has driven scientific advances in catalytic materials and processes over the past few decades. Unique physicochemical and electronic properties that emerge when materials are engineered from the bulk to the nanoscale have been exploited for a wide range of applications, including environmental remediation such as catalytic pollutant destruction. Recent advances in the catalytic synthesis of fuels and value-added chemicals explore the properties of materials, noble and transition metal catalysts in particular, when they are engineered to be below nanoscale and at the single-atom limit. In addition to the maximized efficiency of atomic utilization due to size reduction, significantly reduced costs and the potential to achieve highly selective catalysis are particularly appealing to the environmental application of single-atom catalysts, overcoming certain limitations that the field has been unable to address with nanotechnology. This critical review, built upon a comprehensive discussion of fundamental properties, synthesis methods, and application examples, evaluates in depth the opportunities and challenges of single-atom catalysts as new frontier materials for environmental remediation applications beyond nanomaterials.
