摘要

在多相催化反应中，金属催化剂的尺寸效应对其催化活性、产物选择性和稳定性具有较大影响。将金属催化剂的尺寸从纳米颗粒减小到亚纳米团簇，甚至原子尺度，可有效提高其活性中心利用率，从而大幅提高催化活性。钴（Co）基催化剂因其独特的电子结构和优异的催化活性，在众多反应中受到关注。根据Co基催化剂的研究现状，介绍了不同尺寸（纳米颗粒、团簇、单原子和双原子）Co基催化剂的结构及特点，阐述了提高不同尺寸Co基催化剂稳定性的策略，包括空间限域、金属-载体相互作用和金属-金属相互作用等，分析了这些策略对不同催化反应性能的影响及其优缺点，并对未来Co基催化剂的研究进行了展望。

Abstract

In heterogeneous catalytic reactions

the size effect of metal catalysts has a significant impact on their catalytic activity

product selectivity and stability. Reducing the size of metal catalysts from nanoparticles to sub-nanoclusters

or even to atomic-scale

can effectively increase the utilization of active sites

thereby greatly enhancing catalytic activity. Cobalt (Co)-based catalysts have attracted attention in many reactions due to their unique electronic structure and excellent catalytic activity. Based on the current research status of Co-based catalysts

the structures and characteristics of Co-based catalysts of different sizes (nanoparticles

clusters

single atoms

and diatomic species) were introduced. Strategies for improving the stability of Co-based catalysts with different sizes

including spatial confinement

metal-support interactions

and metal-metal interactions were elaborated. The impacts of these strategies on the performance of different catalytic reactions

as well as their advantages and disadvantages

were analyzed. Prospects for future research on Co-based catalysts were discussed.
