Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>It's all in the detail</bold>: Highly active Fe/N/C catalysts for the oxygen‐reduction reaction in polymer‐electrolyte‐membrane (PEM) fuel cells can be obtained from a precursor constructed from the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF‐8 and an iron–ligand complex if, and only if, the displacement of Zn^II ions from ZIF‐8 by Fe^II ions is restricted (see picture; TPTZ=2, 4, 6‐tris(2‐pyridyl)‐<italic>s</italic>‐triazine).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg22f1qxkr" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
