The catalytic reaction of H 2 +O 2 over a Au/TiO 2 catalyst was studied by transmission IR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. A reaction path of O 2 ‐assisted H 2 dissociation at the Au/TiO 2 dual perimeter site was found to proceed through a TiOOH intermediate (see scheme). The calculated barrier range (0.13–0.25 eV) for the sequence of low‐energy steps agree with the experimental E a of 0.22 eV.
