A catalyst is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or toward a new but desired direction than otherwise possible. Catalysts are widely used to perform a broad range of critical reactions in renewable energy technology. When individual catalytic atoms are dispersed on a solid support, each atom is available to catalyze the desired reaction. This becomes a significant improvement over standard practice whereby reactions are performed on large particles of catalytic metals. The challenge for Single-Atom Catalysts (SAC) has been to prevent the atoms from aggregating into large particles and degrading the performance. Accurate Atom, Inc. has developed proprietary new technologies to affect robust isolation of singule atoms that will provide:

1. Unprecedented catalytic activity and selectivity;

2. Reduce or even replace expensive and scarce platinum group metal (PGM)-based catalysts;

3. Bridge the gap between heterogeneou and homogeneous catalysis;
