description Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted wide attention in the field of environmental engineering. Compared with their nanoparticle counterparts, SACs possess high atomic efficiency, unique catalytic activity, and selectivity. This review summarizes recent studies on the environmental remediation applications of SACs in (1) gaseous: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) treatment, NO(x) reduction, CO(2) reduction, and CO oxidation; (2) aqueous: Fenton-like advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), hydrodehalogenation, and nitrate/nitrite reduction. We present the treatment activities and reaction mechanisms of various SACs and propose challenges and future opportunities. We believe that this review will provide constructive inspiration and direction for future SAC research in environmental engineering.
