Dynamics of metal-support interface revealed by environmental transmission electron microscopy

Understanding the interface structure and evolution of metal-support under a reactive environment at atomic scale is important yet challenging in heterogeneous catalysts. Recently, Willinger et al. reported the unprecedented dynamics of Pt/TiO2 catalysts under redox conditions with interfacial destabilization and redox-mediated reconstruction.
