A method of producing single metal atoms on a graphitic surface, the method comprising the steps of: • providing a metal complex; • mixing the metal complex with a carbon-containing species to form an encapsulant comprising the metal complex encapsulated by the carbon-containing species; • depositing the encapsulant; and • irradiating the deposited encapsulant to form a graphitic surface on which one or more isolated metal atoms of the metal complex are located. |
