In article number 1906735, Kai Yuan, Yiwang Chen, and co‐workers develop a hollow carbon nanotube integrating single atomic cobalt sites and Co 9 S 8 nanoparticles as an efficient trifunctional electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen evolution reaction. These reactions are accompanied by the adsorption and generation of molecules like the colorful fish rushing to and from the nanotube “bait.” This work presents a promising approach to efficient trifunctional electrocatalysts toward Zn–air batteries and water splitting.
