The demand for energy has increased since the industrial revolution, leading to more carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which worsen environmental issues. This article reviews the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) for this purpose. The authors discuss various methods to create SACs. They also explore how SACs can be improved by changing their structure or adding other elements. The review highlights that SACs can make CO2 conversion more efficient and selective, but challenges remain, such as preventing metal atoms from clumping together. While SACs show promise, more research is needed to improve their performance and make them viable for industrial use.
