Episode 2: Single-Atom Catalysis – ZHANG Tao and LI Yadong
2025-04-02
Entering its ninth year, the Future Science Prize, an annual mega event for the scientific community, will be held in Hong Kong again this year.
ZHANG Tao, a researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and LI Yadong, a professor at Tsinghua University, are jointly awarded the Physical Science Prize this year for their contribution to the research and development of Single-Atom Catalysis.
Catalysis is the use of catalysts to speed up chemical reactions. Professor ZHANG discovered the synthesis, characterisation, and catalytic properties of a single-atom Pt catalyst embedded in an FeOx substrate. Professor LI systematically advanced the deterministic and controlled synthesis of single-atom catalysts with structurally-defined morphology and coordination environment of the metal centre. Their research has important implications for future physical and biological research, and industrial manufacturing.

Technological development at a breathtaking pace has changed various aspects of human lives. Understanding of science is no longer restricted to scientists, but needs to be promoted in a wider context of life.
In order to arouse public interest in science and scientific research, the popular science series of “Science: Creating the Future 2” will introduce in an interesting way the Future Science Prize laureates, including Professor Dennis LO Yuk-ming, Professor Ngai-Ming MOK, Professor YUEN Kwok-yung, Professor Joseph Sriyal Malik Peiris and Professor Kam-Biu LUK from Hong Kong; and the laureates of this year including Professor DENG Hongkui, Professor ZHANG Tao, Professor LI Yadong and Professor SUN Binyong; as well as their research achievements. Their innovative studies show how science affects our daily lives, with a view to creating the future with science together.
