In article number 1605413 , Raul Quesada‐Cabrera, Ivan P. Parkin, and co‐workers synthesize nanostructured WO 3 /TiO 2 heterojunction films. Against common observations, this system shows an unusual electron transfer from WO 3 to TiO 2 , as proven by theoretical and experimental evidence. The advantageous electronic synergy within a high‐surface‐area substrate allows for record high efficiencies for the degradation of organic pollutants.
