In article number 1801230 , Gengfeng Zheng and co‐workers develop a strategy for enhanced electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction, using molecular‐directed self‐assembly of 2‐dimensional confined‐spaces as molecular reactors. Atomically‐thin titania nanosheets (pink and yellow spheres) were assembled with cationic surfactants (green strings inside nanosheets) and tin oxide electrocatalysts (blue spheres), enabling a size‐dependent, selective CO 2 electrochemical reduction to formate.
