“…Grasselli proposed them in the form of seven pillars: importance of lattice oxygen, type of metal–oxygen bond strength, host structure, redox behavior, multifunctionality of active sites, site isolation, and phase cooperation. Besides the abovementioned pillars, the nature of oxygen activation also has to be regarded. − …”
