title: Surface- and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy as Operando Probes for Monitoring and Understanding Heterogeneous Catalysis.
abstract: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) were until recently limited in their applicability to the majority of heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Recent developments begin to resolve the conflicting experimental requirements for SERS and TERS on the one hand, and heterogeneous catalysis on the other hand. This article discusses the development and use of SERS and TERS to study heterogeneous catalytic reactions, and the exciting possibilities that may now be within reach thanks to the latest technical developments. This will be illustrated with showcase examples from photo- and electrocatalysis.
