Popis: Abstract Controlling the precise growth of atoms is necessary to achieve manipulation of atomic composition and atomic position, regulation of electronic structure, and an understanding of reactions at the atomic level. Herein, we report a facile method for ordered anchoring of zero-valent platinum and manganese atoms with single-atom thickness on graphdiyne under mild conditions. Due to strong and incomplete charge transfer between graphdiyne and metal atoms, the formation of metal clusters and nanoparticles can be inhibited. The size, composition and structure of the bimetallic nanoplates are precisely controlled by the natural structure-limiting effect of graphdiyne. Experimental characterization clearly demonstrates such a fine control process. Electrochemical measurements show that the active site of platinum-manganese interface on graphdiyne guarantees the high catalytic activity and selectivity (~100%) for alkene-to-diol conversion. This work lays a solid foundation for obtaining high-performance nanomaterials by the atomic engineering of active site.
