Catalysts for ammonia synthesis based on iron intercalated in graphite precursors were prepared. This study reveals that the catalysts' activity is associated with a broad electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) line, and that the iron co‐ordinated by both carbon and potassium influences both the intensity of the EPR signal and activity.
