Epitaxy-induced PtOx–TiO2 interfaces boost the reverse water–gas shift reaction

Abstract

The precise construction and tuning of metal–support interfaces remain a significant challenge in catalyst design. Here, we developed a Pt/PtOx/TiO2 catalyst with an epitaxial spreading structure using an interfacial compatibility strategy. Stable interfacial PtOx species and abundant oxygen vacancies form efficient synergistic active centers, enhancing the RWGS reaction.
