 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.
