“…N 1s of SA‐Ir/NC with five peaks at 398.3, 399.1, 400.1, 401.0, and 403.9 eV correspond to pyridinic N, Ir‐N, pyrrolic N, graphitic N, and oxidized N, respectively. [ 14 ] Compared with NC, SA‐Ir/NC has an additional Ir‐N peak, further confirming the existence of IrN x . As shown in Figure 2b, Ir 4f could be deconvoluted into four components, assigned to Ir 4+ 4f 7/2 (61.5 eV), Ir 4+ 4f 5/2 (64.5 eV), Ir 3+ 4f 7/2 (62.2 eV), and Ir 3+ 4f 5/2 (65.2 eV).…”
