The heterogeneous oxidation of isoprene (C 5 H 8 ) by metal-oxide particles, such as the typical mineral aerosols TiO 2 , plays an important role in the isoprene atmospheric chemistry. However, the underlying mechanism of C 5 H 8 oxidation remains elusive owing to the complexities of aerosol surface...
