- This paper describes the uniqueness of Cu single-site catalyst that enables selective activation of molecular O2, improving the efficiency in CO oxidation by 10 times in comparison with the CuO clusters. I was invited to give a keynote on this work in the 'Fundamentals and Applications of Cerium Dioxide in Catalysis', Spain, 2018. The paper led to an EPSRC-Impact acceleration account (EP/R513143), a host of Newton Fellowship (NF170761), a Royal Society grant (IEC\R3\193038) and a collaboration with Toyota motors; currently a Toyota employee (Mr. Takuro Yokoya) is working in my lab for 2 years.
