Development of single-atomic-site catalysts with high metal loading is highly desirable but proved to be very challenging. Although utilizing defects on supports to stabilize independent metal atoms has become a powerful method to fabricate single-atomic-site catalysts, little attention has been devoted to cation vacancy defects. Here we report a nickel hydroxide nanoboard with abundant Ni 2+  vacancy defects serving as the practical support to achieve a single-atomic-site Pt catalyst (Pt 1 /Ni(OH) x ) containing Pt up to 2.3 wt% just by a simple wet impregnation method. The Ni 2+  vacancies are found to have strong stabilizing effect of single-atomic Pt species, which is determined by X-ray absorption spectrometry analyses and density functional theory calculations. This Pt 1 /Ni(OH) x  catalyst shows a high catalytic efficiency in diboration of a variety of alkynes and alkenes, yielding an overall turnover frequency value upon reaction completion for phenylacetylene of ~3000 h −1 , which is much higher than other reported heterogeneous catalysts.
