(a) and (b) Li NRA bands with 3-MeV H+ for weak and strong lithiation regimes, respectively. The signals at higher energies correspond to α particles originating from the nuclear reaction 19F(p,α)16O, involving fluorine from electrolyte residues. Dashed curves and arrows illustrate the types of tails of the Li NRA bands at lower energies (i.e., the deepest Li layers). The inset in (a) displays lithiated metal components in an NRA-RBS sample holder. (c) and (d) Li depth profiles obtained from (a) and (b) by

Dynamic Confinement Approach for High Metal Loading Single-Atom Catalysts Based on Covalent Organic Frameworks

Kyung Seob Song, Murad Najafov, José Manuel González Acosta, Andrea Ruiz Ferrando, Stephan Pollitt, Patrick W. Fritz, Timur Ashirov, Krzysztof Piech, Felipe Gándara, Maarten Nachtegaal, Núria López, Ali Coskun

Angewandte Chemie International Edition

We introduced a new synthetic strategy for the preparation of high metal loading crystalline single-atom catalysts based on covalent organic frameworks with atomically distributed Pd ions and metal contents of up to 22.2 wt%. Theoretical simulations reveal that the crystalline framework dynamically confines Pd atoms between different binding sites within the pores, ensuring long-term catalyst stability under practical conditions.
