Surface Acidity–Activity Relationships in Transition‐Metal Oxides Probed by NH <sub>3</sub> ‐TPD for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction and Biomass Oxidation
, also follows this acidity-driven behaviour, confirming the generality of the correlation. No relationship is observed between activity, particle size or surface area, indicating that intrinsic surface chemistry, rather than morphology, dictates reactivity. These results establish surface acidic site strength as an important descriptor for oxidation catalysis, providing a practical framework for designing next-generation, multifunctional catalysts.
