Abstract It is vital to understand the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) mechanism at molecular level for rational design and synthesis of high activity fuel‐cell catalysts. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) a powerful technique capable detecting bond vibrations surface species in low wavenumber range, however, using it probe practical nanocatalysts remains extremely challenging. Herein, shell‐isolated nanoparticle‐enhanced (SHINERS) was used investigate ORR processes on bimetallic Pt...
The two-dimensional surface or one-dimensional interface of heterogeneous catalysts is essential to determine the adsorption strengths and configurations reaction intermediates for desired activities. Recently, development single-atom has enabled an atomic-level understanding catalytic processes.

Vanadia-based catalysts have been widely used for catalyzing various reactions, including their long-standing application in the deNOx process. It has commonly considered that vanadium species dispersed on supports with a large surface area act as catalytically active sites.
