While heterogeneous single-atom catalysts(SACs)have achieved great success in the past decade,their application is potentially limited by their simplistic single-atom active centers,which make single-cluster catalysts(SCCs)a natural extension in the domain of heterogeneous catalysis.SCCs with precise numbers of atoms and structural configurations possess SAC merits,yet have greater potential for catalyzing com-plex reactions and/or bulky reactants.Through sys-tematic quantum-chemical studies and computational screening,we report here the rational design of tran-sition metal three-atom clusters anchored on graph-diyne(GDY)as a novel kind of stable SCC with great promise for efficient and atomically precise heterog-enous catalysis.By investigating their structure and catalytic performance for the oxygen reduction reac-tion,the hydrogen evolution reaction,and the CO2 reduction reaction,we have provided theoretical guidelines for their potential applications as hetero-geneous catalysts.These GDY-supported three-atom SCCs provide an ideal benchmark scaffold for rational design of atomically precise heterogeneous catalysts for industrially important chemical reactions.
