Exploring and developing new electrocatalysts with excellent performance and low cost will facilitate the commercial use of these energy conversion technologies. Recently, dual-atom catalysts(DACs) have attracted considerable research interest since they exhibit higher metal atom loading and more flexible active sites compared to single-atom catalysts(SACs). In this paper, the latest preparation methods and characterization techniques of DACs are systematically reviewed. The advantages of homonuclear and heteronuclear DACs and the catalytic mechanism and identification technologies between the two DACs are highlighted. The current applications of DACs in the field of electrocatalysis are summarized. The development opportunities and challenges of DACs in the future are prospected. The ultimate goal is to provide new ideas for the preparation of new catalysts with excellent properties by customizing diatomic catalysts for electrochemical applications.展开更多
Phospbomolybdate （PMo） with varying Mo loadings ranging from 5-30 wt% on alumina were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. 0.5 wt% of Pt was further loaded in order to prepare the bifunctional （metal-...Phospbomolybdate （PMo） with varying Mo loadings ranging from 5-30 wt% on alumina were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. 0.5 wt% of Pt was further loaded in order to prepare the bifunctional （metal-acid） Pt-PMo/Al2O3 catalysts. Thus prepared catalysts showed very high catalytic activities for n-heptane hydroisomerization compared with Pt impregnated MoO3 catalysts supported either on Al2O3 or on AIPO4. The conversion of n-heptane increased with Mo loading up to 20 wt% and slightly decreased with further Mo loading. However, the selectivity towards isomers showed an increasing trend up to 30 wt% of Mo in the catalyst. A relationship between catalytic activity and acidic strength was established in the present study.展开更多
