Oligomerization of light olefins has become an essential step to convert gaseous olefins to liquid fuels and value-added chemicals. Here, we report the synthesis and application of nickel single sites isolated on Wells Dawson polyoxometalate defects as stable and regenerable catalysts for ethylene oligomerization.
