Characterizing individual catalyst nanoparticles at operando conditions is a cornerstone of catalysis research. Here the authors utilize plasmonic optical nanoimaging in a nanofluidic reactor to map the impact of reactor geometry on single Cu particle oxidation state dynamics and active phase during CO oxidation.
