Oxidative strong metal–support interactions

Abstract

The discoveries and development of the oxidative strong metal–support interaction (OMSI) phenomena in recent years not only promote new and deeper understanding of strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) but also open an alternative way to develop supported heterogeneous catalysts with better performance. In this review, the brief history as well as the definition of OMSI and its difference from classical SMSI are described. The identification of OMSI and the corresponding characterization methods are expounded. Furthermore, the application of OMSI in enhancing catalyst performance, and the influence of OMSI in inspiring discoveries of new types of SMSI are discussed. Finally, a brief summary is presented and some prospects are proposed.
