Structural evolution of metal single-atoms and clusters in catalysis: Which are the active sites under operative conditions?
Review in Chemical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The structural evolution of metal single-atoms and clusters has been recognized as the new frontier in catalytic reactions under operative conditions, playing a crucial role in key aspects of catalytic behavior, including activity, selectivity, stability, and atomic efficiency as well as precise tunability in heterogeneous catalysis. Accurately identifying the structural evolution of metal single-atoms and clusters during real reactions is essential for addressing fundamental issues such as active sites, metal-support interactions, deactivation mechanisms, and thereby guiding the design and fabrication of high-performance single-atom and cluster catalysts. However, how to evaluate the dynamic structural evolution of metal species during catalytic reactions is still lacking, hindering their industrial applications. In this review, we discuss the behaviors of dynamic structural evolution between metal single-atoms and clusters, explore the driving force and major factors, highlight the challenges and inherent limitations encountered, and present relevant future research trends. Overall, this review provides valuable insights that can inspire researchers to develop novel and efficient strategies for accurately identifying the structural transformations of metal single-atoms and clusters.
