Summary The real‐space resolving of the encapsulated overlayer in the well‐known model and industry catalysts, ascribed to the advent of dedicated transmission electron microscopy, enables us to probe novel nano/micro architecture chemistry for better application, revisiting our understanding of this key issue in heterogeneous catalysis. In this review, we summarize the latest progress of real‐space observation of SMSI in several well‐known systems mainly covered from the metal catalysts (mostly Pt) supported by the TiO 2 , CeO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 . As a comparison with the model catalyst Pt/Fe 3 O 4 , the industrial catalyst Cu/ZnO is also listed, followed with the suggested ongoing directions in the field.
