<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="FR" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Continuous electrochemical flow reactors for efficient conversion of electrical energy into chemicals and vice versa, i.e. fuel cells
and electrolyzers, become increasingly important for our energy sustainability and environmental concerns. The search for improved electrocatalyst materials, which constitute the core of electrochemical energy conversion devices, has been typically dominated
by the optimization of kinetic activity of catalysts and efficiency of whole cells. However, also the stability of the materials is highly important for a potential commercialization, if not even more important, and should at least always be considered in
parallel. In this presentation I will demonstrate how such investigations are done on a fundamental level, and what can be learned from these studies for large scale applications. The focus will be on the methodological developments from our group, as well
as typical carbon supported noble metal catalysts as used in low-temperature fuel cell electrochemical reactors.
