“We covalently tethered cobalt porphyrins on phenolic resins and explored this Co-porphyrin-engineered phenolic resins as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. The many phenolic hydroxyl groups on phenolic resins play critical roles in facilitating proton and electron transfers…” This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Research Article at 10.1002/cphc.202400017.

Abstract

The front cover artwork is provided by Rui Cao's group at Shaanxi Normal University. The image shows the design of Co-porphyrin-engineered phenolic resins with intramolecular phenolic hydroxyl groups to facilitate proton and electron transfers for efficient oxygen electrocatalysis, which is bioinspired by cytochrome c oxidases, and shows the excellent performance of Zn-air batteries assembled with the hybrid material.
