Surface reconstruction of complex metal oxides refers to the alterations of the topmost catalyst surface, relative to the bulk structure, following exposure to pretreatment or reaction conditions during heterogeneous catalysis. (1) This structural and electronic transformation may involve (1) changes of the exposed crystallographic facets, (2) changes in chemical composition, such as the enrichment of specific elements, and, (3) morphological variations, including surface roughness and defects (Scheme 1). Beyond relaxation, surface reconstruction here also encompasses disruptions to the periodicity of the sublayers and changes to its stoichiometry. This change significantly influences the chemical properties of the catalyst surface, such as redox sites, (2) acid/base pairs, hydroxyl groups, (3) and surface defects. Surface reconstruction occurs due to the thermodynamic drive to lower the surface energy of the catalyst under the surrounding environment (e.g., temperature, chemical potential of species present). In addition to the treatment or reaction conditions, the extent of reconstruction also depends on the elements in the metal oxide structure. For instance, annealing ABO₃ perovskites (SrTiO₃, BaTiO₃, and BaZrO₃) at high temperatures (500 °C) in O₂ has a very different impact on the A/B ratio at the surface (ranging from 0.9 to 2.5), depending on the identity of A and B. (4) Metal oxide surface reconstruction under an electric field and exposure to acidic and alkaline media has recently gained increased attention in electrocatalysis, such as in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER); (5,6) however, in this Viewpoint we focus on the impact of surface reconstruction on thermal catalysis, a critical enduring research theme with ongoing challenges. Here, we start showcasing approaches to characterize surface reconstruction at the topmost surface layer, such as low-energy ion scattering (LEIS), discussing advantages and limitations. Next, we connect characterization of surface reconstruction to site-specific kinetic analysis, enabled via steady-state isotopic transient kinetic analysis (SSITKA), and we express our viewpoint on building structure–performance relationships by deeply understanding reconstructed surfaces. Later, we comment on the potential of tuning surface reconstruction to enhance catalytic performance. Finally, we explore the interplay between surface reconstruction and the “intelligent behavior”.
