Abstract
The growing demand for various consumer products due to the increasing world population directly impacts the environment. Recently, the study and development of new materials based on single atoms (SA) is the new paradigm for green chemistry to deal with the negative effect of raw material overexploitation. This paper explains key concepts to understand SA-based materials, their synthesis, applications, the main analytical techniques for their characterization, and their relationship with environmental chemistry as a crucial technological element for sustainable development.
