On the cover: On the cover: Nourished by the gigantic data and empowered by increasing computing facilities, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is setting us free from many burdensome routines. With AI muscles, we have become faster and smarter than ever. AI is reshaping the future of industries and our lives, enabling paradigm shifts in many disciplines of science and even paving the road to the metaverse. But scientists are still facing endless choices to navigate their innovation processes as previously. Meanwhile, collaborations are urgently needed amongst researchers from multidisciplinary studies. So we do hope the shared values of truth, righteousness, and peace can be cherished deeply to make our blue planet a better place for the whole ecosystem. |

Graphical abstract Defect engineering is a promising strategy for supported catalysts to improve the catalytic activity and durability. Here, we selected the carbon (C) matrix enriched with topological defects to serve as the substrate material, in which the topological defects can act as anchoring centers to trap Pt nanoparticles for driving the O2 reduction reactions (ORRs). Both experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations revealed the strong Pt-defect interaction with enhanced charge transfer on the interface.
