The Cover Feature depicts a type of nanocarbon aerogel mono‐doped by nitrogen heteroatoms, which is prepared on a large scale through the pyrolysis of a metal‐organic framework and bacterial cellulose hybrid. The carbon aerogel consists of three‐dimensionally interconnected nanowires, which enhances mass transport and electron transfer. Practical applications in oxygen electrocatalysis demonstrates that it performs better than multi‐doped nanocarbon and even precious metals. More information can be found in the Article by Y.
