Inside Front Cover: Staggered ABC-Stacking Cobalt-Triptycene Framework for Accelerating CO2 Photoreduction (Angew. Chem. 29/2025)

Abstract

The cover illustrates the catalytic mechanism of a cobalt-triptycene framework with ABC stacking for the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ to CO and H₂. Uniformly distributed Co sites along the pore walls and the ABC stacking facilitate molecular diffusion, thereby accelerating the photocatalytic reaction. The framework regulates the transport of CO₂, H₂O, and *COOH intermediates, while hydrogen bonding between H₂O and CO₂ coupled with carbonate formation enriches CO₂ concentration at metal active sites, promoting the reduction process, as reported by Wei Zhou, Xiao Wang, Xing Lu et al. in their Research Article (e202504155).
