Palladium‐based catalysts for CO 2 electroreduction have received much attention, as they have the appropriate binding energy for intermediates to give highly selective products, such as CO. In their Communication on page 11544 ff., J. Gong and co‐workers describe how low‐coordinated edge sites on ultrathin palladium nanosheets to improve CO faradaic efficiency under a low potential. Combined experimental and DFT results show atoms with a generalized coordination number around 5 account for improved catalytic performance by lowering the energy barrier for *COOH absorption.
