Site-specific electrodeposition enables self-terminating growth of atomically dispersed metal catalysts

The growth of single-atom catalysts remains a great challenge owing to favorable atom aggregation. Here, the authors report a self-limiting electrodeposition method for the fast, mild, and controllable synthesis of a library of single-atom catalysts.
