The coverage of TiOx on Pt can be modified by thermal and fluoric acid treatments. Strong metal support interaction (SMSI) can be testified by electrochemical method. For the first time, the SMSI effect is observed at 200 °C with supporting TEM images. Increased activity and stability are attributed to stronger SMSI. This tunable approach is valid for other oxide supported catalysts, e.g. Pt/Nb-TiO2.
