Abstract
Atomically dispersed supported metal catalysts provide many advantages such as, offering maximum utilization of noble metals, providing new and unprecedented catalytic properties, and obtaining structure-performance relationships thanks to their high degree of uniformity. Besides these advantages, they face several challenges which limits their utilization in industrially viable applications. This dissertation focuses on overcoming two of these challenges: their limited stability under reaction conditions and their limited metal loadings.
