Abstract
We study 14 atomically dispersed transition metals on halite-type oxides (MeO, Me = Fe, Mg, Mn, and Ni) using periodic density functional theory calculations and probe structure and activity toward CO oxidation for a subset of these systems experimentally. Pd and Pt can form stable negatively charged species upon binding to oxygen vacancies; the magnitude of the metal atom binding energy depends on the O vacancy formation energies of the supporting metal oxide and the lattice match between transition metal and support. The resulting oxide-supported single-atom systems catalyze CO oxidation by molecularly adsorbed O2 with intrinsic barriers as low as 36 kJ/mol for Pt/MnOx(001). This high activity stems from the single sites’ ability to stabilize surface superoxide species. Furthermore, intrinsic barriers were found to depend primarily on the identity of the transition metal and to be nearly independent of the support identity. However, O2 may heal the oxygen vacancy, which leads to catalyst deactivation. Catalyst deactivation by oxygen can be suppressed by using a more reducible support such as FeO(001) or MnO(001).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
