Hybrid heaven The cover picture shows a new plasmonic photocatalytic mechanism of a visible‐light‐driven plasmonic photocatalyst Ag/AgBr/g‐C 3 N 4 (g=graphite‐like), proposed on the basis of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and charge separation of Ag. In their Full Paper on p. 2343 ff., W.‐D. Zhang and Y.‐S. Xu describe how their metal–semiconductor ternary composite photocatalyst, compared with bare g‐C 3 N 4 or Ag/AgBr nanoparticles, shows respective 28‐ and 6‐fold improvements in the degradation rate toward rhodamine B under visible‐light irradiation.
