title: Real-space observation of strong metal-support interaction: state-of-the-art and what's the next.
abstract: The real-space resolving of the encapsulated overlayer in the well-known model and industry catalysts, ascribed to the advent of dedicated transmission electron microscopy, enables us to probe novel nano/micro architecture chemistry for better application, revisiting our understanding of this key issue in heterogeneous catalysis. In this review, we summarize the latest progress of real-space observation of SMSI in several well-known systems mainly covered from the metal catalysts (mostly Pt) supported by the TiO2 , CeO2 and Fe3 O4 . As a comparison with the model catalyst Pt/Fe3 O4 , the industrial catalyst Cu/ZnO is also listed, followed with the suggested ongoing directions in the field.
