Heterogeneous catalyst is important in the chemical industry. To design and synthesize more efficient catalysts, it is necessary to understand catalytic behavior at the atomic level. However, despite its wide applicability, understanding the catalytic behavior of heterogeneous catalysts at the atomic level is challenging owing to the inherent heterogeneity of the active sites. In contrast, single-atom catalysts contain uniform and well-defined active sites, and they can serve as model catalysts. This makes it possible to understand catalytic behavior at the atomic level. CeO₂ has been frequently used as support for single-atom catalysts because it strongly interacts with supported metal and prevents metal agglomeration. CeO₂ is also well known for its excellent redox properties and oxygen storage capacity. Its reducibility is significantly enhanced when a noble metal is supported. Due to its redox properties, CeO₂ has been an essential component of environmental catalysts to remove CO and hydrocarbons from vehicle emissions. In this study, we investigated how the redox behavior of CeO₂ is involved in catalytic behavior of single-atom catalysts. CO oxidation reaction was adopted as a model reaction because of its simplicity and practical importance.

Initially, we compared catalytic behavior of atomically dispersed Pd supported on CeO₂(111) and CeO₂(100). Analysis of in situ Raman spectroscopy and detailed DFT revealed the origin of the superior CO oxidation activity of atomically dispersed Pd on CeO₂(100), compared with CeO₂(111). We postulated that O₂ adsorbed on the Pd/CeO₂(100) surface has an important role in lowering the activation barrier of the CO oxidation reaction.

We also investigated the effect of the surface density of single Pd atoms supported on CeO₂ on catalytic behavior. The Pd/CeO₂ single-atom catalysts show increasing CO oxidation specific activity with surface Pd density, which has not been observed with atomically dispersed Pd on Al₂O₃. The unique behavior of the Pd/CeO₂ single-atom catalysts was rationalized by cumulative enhancement of the reducibility with increased surface Pd density.

In addition, we investigated the catalytic behavior of atomically dispersed Pt supported on CeO₂. Contrary to Pd/CeO₂ single-atom catalysts, the CO oxidation activity of Pt/CeO₂ single-atom catalysts was very low despite the reducibility of the catalysts increasing with surface Pt density, which originated from negligible CO interaction. The CO interaction and CO oxidation activity were significantly enhanced upon Pt cluster formation.
