The technological development requires the future advanced combustion engines be designed to operate at low temperature. Here, the authors show that partially oxide Pt-[O] x -Bi interface catalyzes CO oxidation at ~ 50 °C via providing moderate CO adsorption and activating CO molecules with electron transformation.
