CeNTech scientists combine atomic-scale characterization of a single atom catalyst with a direct proof of the electrochemical performance in an oxygen reduction reaction, which is an important process in fuel cells. In collaboration with the Max-Planck-Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and the University of Paderborn, the researchers used organic supramolecular networks to stabilize single copper atoms as catalytically active sites. The study was successfully published in the renowned American Chemical Society Journal.
