In article number 1903423, Jeung Ku Kang and co‐workers describe Cu nanoparticles with atomic‐scale spacings. They enable a current density exceeding that of pristine nanoparticles by 12 fold and a Faradaic efficiency of nearly 80% to C 2+ products. Atomic‐scale spacings pave a route to realize high performance in activity and C 2+ product selectivity for the CO 2 reduction reaction.
