Abstract

Abstract: Strong metal–support interactions (SMSI) represent a classic yet fast‐growing area in catalysis research. The SMSI phenomenon results in the encapsulation and stabilization of metal nanoparticles (NPs) with the support material that significantly impacts the catalytic performance through regulation of the interfacial interactions. Engineering SMSI provides a promising approach to steer catalytic performance in various chemical processes, which serves as an effective tool to tackle energy and environmental challenges. Our Minireview covers characterization, theory, catalytic activity, dependence on the catalytic structure and inducing environment of SMSI phenomena. By providing an overview and outlook on the cutting‐edge techniques in this multidisciplinary research field, we not only want to provide insights into the further exploitation of SMSI in catalysis, but we also hope to inspire rational designs and characterization in the broad field of material science and physical chemistry. Abstract : Strong metal–support interactions (SMSI) are a key concept in heterogeneous catalysis, which governs catalytic performance in various processes. The application of modern characterization and modeling approaches is revolutionary in the study of SMSI phenomena. This Minireview focuses on recent progress in understanding and utilizing SMSI and provides an outlook for the future development in this multidisciplinary field.
