The Cover shows the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively) catalyzed by a bifunctional nickel‐phosphorous (Ni‐P) film under strongly alkaline conditions. Efficient, stable, and low‐cost electrocatalysts are crucial for realizing large‐scale water splitting to produce clean hydrogen fuel. In their Communication, Jiang et al. report that electrodeposited Ni‐P films can act as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting, whose performance can rival those of the state‐of‐the‐art catalysts like Pt and IrO 2 . More information can be found in the Communication by Jiang et al. on page 106 in Issue 1, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201501150).
