In situ probing of surface species and incipient phases is vital to unraveling the mechanisms chemical energy transformation processes. Here we report Ag nanoparticles coated with a thin-film SiO2 shell that demonstrate excellent thermal robustness stability for enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) study solid oxide fuel cell materials under in conditions (at ∼400 °C).
