Inside Front Cover: Insight into the Behavior of Interstitial Electrons in CuZn Alloy‐Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework Catalysts for Enhanced CO <sub>2</sub> Electroreduction (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 4/2026)
In the Research Article (e17420), Yi Shen and co-workers turned the attention to the often-ignored “Interstitial electrons” in CuZn alloy clusters. These interstitial electrons were found to be pivotal regulators, actively participating in stabilizing reaction intermediates and steering the CO2 conversion pathway with high efficiency and selectivity. The cover image depicts the interstitial electrons within the CuZn alloy-functionalized covalent organic framework promote the reduction of CO2 to C2H4.
