Keeping an eye on electrocatalysts: In situ small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) combined with an electrochemical rate model yield insight in the evolution of the particle size distributions (PSDs) of carbon‐supported Pt nanoparticle ensembles. A critical 3–5 nm size region where particles remained structurally stable was identified. A dominant role for a surface energy‐driven Ostwald growth mechanism was deduced.
