57 Fe Mössbauer Spectroscopy Characterization of Electrocatalysts.

This work addresses the importance of Mössbauer spectroscopy for the characterization of iron-containing electrocatalysts. The most important aspects of electrocatalysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy are summarized. Next, Fe-N-C catalysts and important conclusions made by this technique on preparation, active site identification and degradation are summarized. Furthermore, recent highlights derived for other iron-containing electrocatalysts are summarized.
