Cover Feature: Electro‐assisted Molecular Assembly Giving Atomic‐Scale Catalytic Active‐Site Detection (Chem. Eur. J. 63/2022)

Abstract

A single pentagon defect in a single-layered graphene catalyst is emphasized next to a control structure (pentagon ring passivated by oxygen). The small molecules near the defect represent the reactant and intermediate product of the oxygen reduction reaction. Lightning around the graphene indicates how the pentagon defect was fabricated with electro-assistance and the oxygen reduction reaction was driven by electrical energy. More information on identifying the catalyst's precise active site can be found in the Research Article by F. Qiu, L. Zhang, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202202700).
