Electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the acidic environment could largely prevent its decomposition to water, but efficient catalysts that constitute entirely earth‐abundant elements are lacking. Here we report the experimental demonstration of narrowing the interlayer gap of metallic cob...
