A long time ago on an electrocatalyst's surface on a very, very microscopic scale… Developing electrocatalysts for crucial reactions using abundant materials is an important goal. In the work featured on the Front Cover, nanoporous C‐, N‐architectures with controlled N chemical structures were synthesized via a self‐morphogenetic process, and they showed high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities. The results indicate that the combination of a specific N chemical structure and nanoporous configuration is key for the high activity. More information can be found in the Communication by K. Sakaushi et al. on page 99 in Issue 2, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201500189).
