Structure (from atomic and electronic level)-performance correlation demonstrates the crucial impact of complex surface chemistry and nanostructure on photo/electrochemical performance, which is also a persistent barrier for rationally designing photo/electrode materials. Rationally designing materials for their superior photo/electrochemical properties can only rely on the unveiling of the correlation between their electronic structures' evolution along the testing processes. Therefore, from the electronic level to develop the spatial- and time-resolved light interaction technology can be deeply understood. Therefore, here I showcase several recent works about investigating the intrinsic properties of the materials correlated with their subtle micro-structure variation, including [1-3].
