Single Atomic Cu-N2 Catalytic Sites for Highly Active and Selective Hydroxylation of Benzene to Phenol

Summary: Searching for an efficient single-atom catalyst for benzene hydroxylation to phenol is of critical importance, but it still remains a challenge. Herein, a single-atom catalyst with unique Cu-N2 moieties (Cu1-N2/HCNS) was prepared and confirmed by HAADF-STEM and EXAFS. Turnover number (TON)...
