Structural heterogeneity in inorganic nanosolids is ubiquitous, which poses non-negligible impacts on the associated catalytic behaviors. Recent efforts in investigating four types of structural heterogeneities in nanocatalysts, including size and facet control, differentiation of surface and bulk characteristics, characterizing local and average structures, as well as monitoring catalytic restructurings, are discussed. Understanding the inhomogeneities in the seemingly uniform nanomaterials lays foundations for the delicate design of advanced nanocatalysts with increased structural complexities and expanded catalytic functionalities.
