Stimulating new studies using Fenton's reagent to selectively dissolve asperities and hence knock out catalytic sites on the surface of gold, may present unknown fundamental and applied opportunities; for example, modification of the surfaces of micro‐ and nanoparticles of gold and other metals to enhance catalytic activity, thereby making the process more affordable (see figure).
