Very active FeO_x–Au catalysts for CO oxidation are obtained after depositing nanoparticles of FeO, Fe₃O₄, and Fe₂O₃ on a Au(111) substrate. Neither FeO nor Fe₂O₃ is stable under the reaction conditions. Under an environment of CO/O₂, they undergo oxidation (FeO) or reduction (Fe₂O₃) to yield nanoparticles of Fe₃O₄ that are not formed in a bulk phase. Using a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we show a strong oxide–metal interaction (SOMI) between Fe₃O₄ nanostructures and Au(111), which gives the oxide special properties, allows the formation of an active phase, and provides a unique interface to facilitate a catalytic reaction. This work highlights the important role that the SOMI can play in enhancing the catalytic performance of the oxide component in metal–oxide catalysts.
