Abstract
. We show that the intelligent Cu/perovskite interfacial design is the prerequisite to effectively replace noble metals by catalytically equally potent metal-mixed-oxide interfaces. We have provided the proof of principle for the NO + CO test reaction but anticipate the extension to a universal concept applicable to similar materials and reactions.
