Performance enhancement : The surface‐science approach coupled with industrial catalyst research offers a synergistic strategy to improve the performance of industrial catalysts. The poorly understood microscopic processes that determine the structural deactivation of ruthenium‐based catalysts during CO oxidation have been elucidated (see scheme). Based on these results measures are proposed to improve the performance of ruthenium catalysts.
