I think it may have less impact in scientific society as compared to teamwork, I suggest this because it has fewer contributors who may give the paper its strength by sharing knowledge and interpretations. Moreover, it's time-consuming and more expensive when compared to joint work.

I believe there are two different aspects of the issue to be considered. One is talking about review papers, or the kind of articles in which the author expresses a personal opinion on a specific scientific topic. In that case, single author papers are valuable and unique, and all us researchers have relied on such important sources. On the other hand, I strongly believe that experimental papers should be the result of an interdisciplinary team, because only such a diverse, in some cases numerous group can ensure the best result.
If the paper's quality and writing style are great and has a novelity then should not be problem if its only with single author. There are many published articles which have more than one author but with less quality and even no interesting contribution.
It is becoming increasingly rare to see single-authored journal papers. The number of authors included on research papers in many disciplines has increased over time.
