The Cover Feature illustrates an efficient electrocatalyst utilizing non‐noble metals consisting of Cu and Sn supported on nitrogen‐doped graphene for reduction of CO 2 over a wide potential range. The CuSn alloy nanoparticles show efficient electrocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction with a high faradaic efficiency of nearly 93 % for C1 products, which could be attributed to the improved CO 2 adsorption and the decreased barrier for the reduction process. More information can be found in the Article by W. Xiong et al. on page 5951 in Issue 24, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/celc.201901381).
