The Front Cover shows how the cobalt‐based MOF is transformed from a crystalline structure to an amorphous structure by incorporation of optimal Fe 3+ ions. Spectroscopic and microscopic studies demonstrated that the as‐prepared Fe/Co bimetallic MOF exhibits impressive OER activity, ascribed to this hollow, amorphous structure, which greatly increases the number of active sites, facilitating the Co 2+ ions in the active sites to convert to Co 3+ during the OER process, explaining the synergistic catalytic mechanism involving Fe and Co for water splitting.
