Rational engineering of oxygen vacancy (V-O) at atomic precision is the key to comprehensively understanding the oxygen chemistry of oxide materials for catalytic oxidations. Here, we demonstrate that V-O can be spatially confined on the surface through a sophisticated surface hydrogen bond (HB) network. The HB network is constructed between a hydroxyl-rich BiOCl surface and polyprotic phosphoric acid, which remarkably decreases the formation energy of surface V-O by selectively weakening the metal-oxygen bonds in a short range. Thus, surface-confined V-O enables us to unambiguously distinguish the intrafacial and suprafacial oxygen species associated with NO oxidation in two classical catalytic systems. Unlike randomly distributed bulk V-O that benefits the thermocatalytic NO oxidation and lattice O diffusion by the dominant intrafacial mechanism, surface V-O is demonstrated to favor the photocatalytic NO oxidation through a suprafacial scheme by energetically activating surface O-2, which should be attributed to the spatial confinement nature of surface V-O.
