Abstract: In heterogeneous catalysis rational design of advanced catalysts and development of new catalysis theory strongly rely on fundamental understanding of surface catalytic mechanism at atomic and molecular level and building catalytic structure-performance relationship. It has been well demonstrated that such studies require well-defined model catalysts and state-of-the-art characterization techniques, which can be greatly promoted by recent innovations in construction of model catalysts and development of in-situ surface and interface techniques. In the present work we introduce the frontiers and tendencies in this field and discuss some key challenges. Furthermore, typical research pro-gresses and related labs in China have been highlight. Finally, the priority research directions have been suggested.
