The idea that single metal atoms dispersed on a solid support can act as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst was raised in 2011 when single Pt atoms on an FeO_x surface were reported to be active for CO oxidation and preferential oxidation of CO in H₂. The last six years have witnessed tremendous progress in the field of single-atom catalysis. Here we introduce the major achievements on this topic in 2015 and 2016. Some particular aspects of single-atom catalysis are discussed in depth, including new approaches in single-atom catalyst (SAC) synthesis, stable gold SACs for various reac-tions, the high selectivity of Pt and Pd SACs in hydrogenation, and the superior performance of non-noble metal SACs in electrochemistry. These accomplishments will encourage more efforts by researchers to achieve the controllable fabrication of SACs and explore their potential applications.
