Abstract
Rational design and engineering of high‐performance, low‐cost electrocatalysts represents a critical first step in the development of sustainable energy technologies. While single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as viable candidates, recent research has shown that the structure and activity can be further manipulated and enhanced by the incorporation of a second metal center in the close proximity, forming a binuclear configuration. Such dual‐atom catalysts (DACs) are recognized as feasible choices to break the limitations of SACs due to the synergetic effects between the bimetallic atoms and their special structures. Herein, the recent advances of DAC electrocatalysis for a range of important reactions, focusing on their synthesis, characterization, and performance, are summarized. The review is concluded with a perspective highlighting the challenges and future research directions.
