In article number 2100303, Rose Amal, Xunyu Lu and co‐workers developed a multicomponent catalyst comprised of thin copper nano‐islands decorated cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated inside graphene layers with abundant cobalt and copper atomic sites. The unique structure of the obtained catalyst triggers synergies between cobalt and copper species, resulting in improved oxygen reduction performance in alkaline media.
