许多催化剂材料经常采用变形的表面层作为其活性组分，并且在非均相催化反应中催化剂材料的反应速率会随着基底材料的切面弹性变形（应变）的改变而发生相应的变化。在研究中，我们搭建了应变效应研究平台，用于研究当催化材料受到不同应变作用下其催化活性和应变的耦合强度，从而更深入地了解应变对在其表面发生的化学反应的影响。
A lot of catalysts often employ a strained surface layer as the active component, and the reaction rates in heterogeneous catalysis vary when the substrate is elastically strained in the tangent plane. Here we directly address the question of interest about quantifiable measurement for the reactivity-strain coupling strength while the electrode is strained; thus for a deeper understanding of the chemical reaction on a strained surface.
