In the cover picture, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) arising from the hydration of thioacetamide is represented by Sun Wukong, while the clouds stand for molybdenum oxide (MoO 3‐x ) nanosheets. The produced H 2 S molecules allow generation of MoO 3‐x nanodots under ambient conditions. The as‐prepared MoO 3‐x nanodots exhibit strong localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) in the visible and near‐infrared region. Tunable plasmon resonances can be obtained in a wide range by selecting a suitable solvent, thus contributing to an enhanced photoelectrocatalytic activity. More information can be found in the Communication by Qun Xu et al. on page 2980 in Issue 23, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201701170).
