Abstract

In situ/operando Mössbauer spectroscopy is one of the most powerful techniques to quantitatively monitor the coordination and electronic structure of Mössbauer isotopes (119Sn, 57Fe, etc.) contained in heterogeneous catalysts under practical reaction conditions. To promote further progress in identifying the real structure of catalytic site(s) and revealing the underlying catalytic mechanism, herein we thoroughly summarize the recent advances of in situ/operando Mössbauer technique for probing heterogeneous catalysts and electrode materials for sustainable energy applications, including electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, Li-ion batteries, etc. The unique role of this technique in different catalytic system is discussed with emphasis placed on several typical research advances. Moreover, the recent emerging operando Mössbauer technique for the study of single-atom catalysts, which is considered as a new eye for providing electronic-level insight into catalytic mechanism, is highlighted. Finally, the outlooks and challenges are discussed toward further application and rising influence of in situ/operando Mössbauer spectroscopy in heterogeneous catalysis. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
