- Abstract
- Identifying the electronic behavior of metal-oxide interfaces is essential for understanding the origin of catalytic properties and for engineering catalyst structures with the desired reactivity. For a mechanistic understanding of hot electron dynamics at inverse oxide/metal interfaces, we employed a new catalytic nanodiode by combining Co3O4 nanocubes (NCs) with a Pt/TiO2 nanodiode that exhibits nanoscale metal-oxide interfaces. We show that the chemicurrent, which is well correlated with the catalytic activity, is enhanced at the inverse oxide/metal (CoO/Pt) interfaces during H-2 oxidation. Based on quantitative visualization of the electronic transfer efficiency with chemicurrent yield, we show that electronic perturbation of oxide/metal interfacial sites not only promotes the generation of hot electrons, but improves catalytic activity.
