Heterogeneous catalysis at the metal surface generally involves transport of molecules through interfacial water layer to access surface, which is a rate-determining step nanoscale. In this study, taking oxygen reduction reaction on electrode in aqueous solution as an example, using accurate molecular dynamic simulations, we propose novel long-range regulation strategy midinfrared stimulation (MIRS) with frequency approximately 1,000 cm-1 applied nonthermally induce structural transition from ordered disordered state, facilitating surfaces room temperature and increasing activity 50-fold. Impressively, theoretical prediction confirmed by experimental observation significant discharge voltage increase zinc-air batteries under MIRS. This MIRS approach can be seamlessly integrated into existing strategies, offering new for accelerating heterogeneous reactions gas sensing within system.
