Hongxing Xu, Jwa‐Min Nam, and co‐workers explore the use of solar light as energy source to generate hot electrons for chemical reactions, in article number 1700004 . Hot electrons, generated on metal nanostructures by solar light, can be readily used for chemical reactions (p,p'‐ dimercaptoazobenzene formation is shown on the cover) or diffused onto metal/semiconductor interfaces to accelerate chemical reactions on the semiconductor surface.
