Stabilizing single atoms and a lower oxidation state of Cu by a ½[110]{100} edge dislocation in Cu-CeO₂

Stabilizing atomically dispersed catalytic metal species at surfaces is a significant challenge for obtaining high-performance single atom catalysts. This is because of the strong tendency for the dispersed metal atoms to agglomerate. We propose that dislocations can provide a strong anchor for stab...
