| Abstract: | A symbiosis of advanced scanning probe and electron microscopy and a well‐defined model system may provide a detailed picture of interfaces on nanostructured catalytic systems. This was demonstrated for Pt nanoparticles supported on iron oxide thin films which undergo encapsulation by supporting oxide as a result of strong metal–support interactions. |
