In article number 1901517, Srinivas Gadipelli and co‐workers present direct evidence of carbon nanoparticle size–dependent electrochemical activity for the supercapacitors and oxygen reduction reaction. For this, the carbon polyhedrons with size between few tens of nanometers to microns are designed from a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐8), and all other parameters, such as surface area, microporosity, pore‐size distribution, nitrogen‐doping and graphitization are maintained identically.
