Mechanisms for the Formation of Active Sites in Single-Atom Alloys

Ioannis Karageorgiou, Angelos Michaelides, Fabian Berger

Reactive dopant atoms embedded in inert host metal surfaces define the active sites in single-atom alloys (SAAs), yet SAA synthesis remains challenging. To address this, we elucida…
