The Inside Cover shows a case study on the important, co‐catalyst role of metallic Pd particles in ternary In 2 S 3 ‐(RGO‐Pd) composites toward selective oxidation of alcohols under visible light irradiation. In their Full Paper, Li, Zhang, and Xu demonstrate that Pd acts as dual co‐catalyst along with RGO to promote the more efficient separation of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs and facilitate their spatial transfer across the interface in ternary In 2 S 3 ‐(RGO‐Pd). Their work highlights the promising scope of using Pd nanoparticles as a co‐catalyst for promoting visible‐light photocatalysis towards selective organic transformations under ambient conditions. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 2047 ff. of Issue 14, 2015.
