Conclusions• The active sites are highly dynamic.• Kinetics of Redox reactions including changes in
gas phase compositions and catalyst compositions can be obtained from kinetics of individual steps.
• Space and time resolved UV-Vis spectroscopy is a powerful tool for kinetic studies of redox reactions.
• Multiscale approach is powerful not only for the simulation and optimization of industrial reactors, but also the rational catalyst design.
