“…In recent years, the electrochemical behavior of single MOS including IrO x , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , CeO 2 , CuO, Co 3 O 4 , TiO 2 , ZnO and CoFe 2 O 4 etc. has been investigated via nano-impact method ( Sardesai et al, 2013 ; Tschulik and Compton, 2014 ; Shimizu et al, 2016a ; Shimizu et al, 2016b ; Zhou et al, 2017 ; Zampardi, et al, 2018 ; Peng et al, 2018 ; Xie et al, 2020 ; Karunathilake et al, 2020 ) The specific research topics mainly involve two aspects: the electrochemical redox behavior and electrocatalysis of single MOS, which is summarized and discussed in the following paragraphs respectively. For a direct type of nano-impact, the nanoparticles are usually fully oxidized (or reduced) so that the electrolysis of the nanoparticles is quantitative.…”
