Self-sustained catalytic combustion is a sustainable approach to deal with exhaust gas with high concentration CO, and revealing its reaction process is necessary and challenging. Herein, cube (Cu 2 O-C), octahedron (Cu 2 O-O) and dodecahedron (Cu 2 O-D) exposing different crystal planes were used to explore the catalytic combustion mechanism. The catalytic combustion can be self-sustained on the Cu 2 O surface and the activities decrease in the order of Cu 2 O-O > Cu 2 O-D > Cu 2 O-C, contributing to the different exposing planes with (1 1 1), (1 1 0) and (1 0 0), respectively. In-situ DRIFTS results prove that the catalytic combustion of CO to CO 2 on Cu 2 O is prone to follow the MvK mechanism. Comparing with Cu 2 O-D and Cu 2 O-C, the relatively open surface of Cu 2 O-O plane composed of unsaturated copper and oxygen atoms facilitates the CO adsorption on Cu (I) and the mobility of lattice oxygen, leading to the highest low temperature reducibility and catalytic activity. [Display omitted] • CO self-sustained catalytic combustion were achieved on cube, octahedron and dodecahedron Cu 2 O. • Octahedron Cu 2 O with (1 1 1) planes exhibits the best activity for high concentration CO. • Coordination unsaturated Cu and O on the (111) and (110) planes promote CO oxidation. • Catalytic combustion reaction of CO on Cu 2 O mainly follows the MvK mechanism.
