Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows a team of two people climbing a multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). While one person stands on the ground and secures the other with a rope to secure them from falling down, the other person actively climbs up and collects water molecules that fall to the ground as hydrogen and oxygen. In this way, the combination of belaying and climbing leads to the successful ascent of the Tube. In their Full Paper, C. Broicher et al. introduce iron‐ and manganese‐containing MWCNT materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). They show that some components of the composite material are responsible for the activity, others for the stability of the catalyst. In combination, a promising electrode material is obtained. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. Broicher et al.
