The Cover Feature shows bio‐inspired electrocatalysis for the oxygen evolution reaction on LiMn 2 O 4 nanocrystals. The electrocatalyst shares the cubane motif with the active site of photosystem II and the valence of Mn 3.5+ with the dark‐stable state of natural photosynthesis. These commonalities allow discussion of the electrocatalytic mechanism of LiMn 2 O 4 in the context of natural photosynthesis.
