Perovskite oxides, which feature a flexible structure, have garnered interest as inexpensive, efficient substitutes for electrocatalytic water oxidation. In article number 1701693 , Zongping Shao and co‐workers showcase how incorporating Earth‐abundant, nonprecious, metalloid silicon into an iron‐based perovskite electrocatalyst can be used to greatly facilitate the reaction kinetics. This enhancement is attributable to a Si‐doping induced structural transition. Cover illustrator: Yijun Zhong.
