Strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is an important concept in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we demonstrate that the Au-TiO2 SMSI of Au/TiO2 catalysts sensitively depends on both Au nanoparticle (NP) sizes and TiO2 facets. Au NPs of ca. 5 nm are more facile undergo Au-TiO2 SMSI than those of ca. 2 nm, while TiO2 001 and 100 facets are more facile than TiO2 101 facets. The resulting capsulating TiO2-x overlayers on Au NPs exhibit an average oxidation state between +3 and +4 and a Au-to-TiO2-x charge transfer, which, combined
