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.
