Support makes the difference : Investigation of particle‐size‐ and substrate‐dependent activity for the electrochemical oxidation of CO provides an opportunity to consider the origin of the unique activity of supported Au nanoparticles in a new light. Furthermore, manipulation of catalytic activity by particle size and support provides an important tool for the future optimization of electrocatalysts.
