Axial modification of cobalt complexes on heterogeneous surfaces leads to enhanced interfacial electron transfer for CO 2 reduction. In their Research Article on page 19162, X. Wang and co‐workers use diphenyl sulfide as an axial ligand for tetraphenylporphyrin cobalt. The coordination promotes the redox activity of tetraphenylporphyrin cobalt immobilized on graphene through van der Waals interactions, and facilitates the generation of a reduced state of tetraphenylporphyrin cobalt to serve as the active site for electrochemical CO 2 reduction.
