The conversion of CO 2 into solar fuels usually requires unsustainable materials. In article number 1700118 , Geoffrey A. Ozin and co‐workers demonstrate gas‐phase CO 2 reduction using hydride‐terminated boron‐ and phosphorus‐doped silicon nanocrystals, which consist of earth‐abundant and non‐toxic elements. The CO 2 reduction activity of silicon nanocrystals is successfully doubled with the addition of dopants. Cover illustrator: Chenxi Qian.
