Abstract

Abstract : On page 5768, Huanting Wang and co‐workers report the synthesis of zeolitic‐imidazolate‐framework (ZIF)/graphene oxide (GO) sandwich‐like composites with ultrasmall ZIF nanocrystals (≈20 nm in size) that fully cover the GO via a homogenous nucleation followed by uniform deposition and confined growth process. The ZIF/GO composites are further converted to N‐doped nanoporous carbon/graphene nano‐sandwiches, which act as non‐precious metal catalysts with excellent performance for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction.
