【 摘 要 】

tsAll the coordination engineering strategies, such as tuning the coordination species, the coordination number of the active centers, heteroatoms interactions within the support, synergetic interaction between neighboring metal monomers, and spatial microenvironment, have been summarized and discussed in detail.Various single-atom catalysts (SACs) with different coordination spheres in energy conversion driven by thermal, light and electric energy have been systematically reviewed.The current key challenges in SACs for energy conversion are pointed out, and some potential strategies/perspectives are proposed.
