The Front Cover shows the transport of electrons in the redox‐active metal–organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals grown from the surface of carbon nanotubes at room temperature. A sluggish redox hopping process occurs in the insulating MOF during electrochemical processes, and the electrically conducting carbon nanotube behaves like a highway to facilitate charge transport between MOF crystals for enhanced performance in electrochemical applications ( background picture Sean Pavone Copyright 123RF.com ).
