Front cover image: Electrides, with anionic electrons trapped in crystal cavities, promise exceptional electron-donating capabilities but are often plagued by poor stability under reactive conditions. In article number CEY270084, Ren et al. design an ultrastable one-dimensional [Ti2S]2+·2e− electride featuring a unique dual-channel anionic electron architecture and a self-formed amorphous Ti–O passivation layer. This combination not only preserves the electride's chemical integrity in harsh solvents but also enables efficient electron transfer to anchored Pt nanoparticles, dramatically enhancing both hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction activities with outstanding durability, surpassing commercial Pt/C catalysts.
