Previous studies have demonstrated that the type of support, the addition of promotional materials, and the use of solvents can significantly influence catalytic activity and selectivity. However, the precise nature of the active sites and the mechanisms driving these reactions remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap is largely due to the variability introduced by traditional catalyst synthesis methods, which result in a wide range of metal particle sizes and compositions. This heterogeneity makes it challenging to accurately study the relationship between catalyst structure and reactivity. This work focuses on using well-defined nano and single-atom catalysts to systematically explore the relationship between catalyst structure, surface properties, and reactivity in industry-relevant reactions. By employing these precisely
controlled catalysts, we aim to establish clear correlations between structural characteristics and catalytic performance, offering deeper insights into the factors that govern activity and selectivity. These findings are crucial for designing more efficient and selective catalysts, with significant potential to enhance industrial processes and contribute to the development of sustainable chemical technologies.
