Authors: Ni, Youxuan; Lu, Yong; Xie, Weiwei; Chen, Jun
Abstract: Strain engineering is an effective approach for modulating the activity of single‐atom catalysts, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This review focuses on the strain effects on single‐atom catalysts, detailing the geometric structure distortion and electronic structure changes of the active sites with different strains. It also discusses the mechanisms behind the modulation of electrocatalytic activity for single‐atom catalysts.
