In article number 1606265 Lars J. C. Jeuken and co‐workers use a layer‐by‐layer assembly of lipid bilayers to multiply the surface concentration of electroactive membrane enzymes at electrodes. The interconnected membrane multilayers, akin to those of thylakoid membranes, create a material that exhibits a linear increase in bioelectrocatalytic activity with each additional enzyme‐containing membrane layer (containing either ubiquinol oxidase or an oxygen‐tolerant hydrogenase).
