The Front Cover illustrates an integrated manganese cobalt oxide/nitrogen‐doped multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrid (MnCo 2 O 4 @NCNTs) bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR/OER), outperforming the commercial Pt/C and IrO 2 /C standards. The hybrid structure is rationally designed with careful control of surface chemistry and synthesis conditions, exhibits tunable and durable catalytic activities for both ORR and OER, and can be readily scaled up for alkaline fuel cells and metal–air batteries. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Zhao et al. on page 1295 in Issue 8, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201800049).
