The Cover shows the exclusive production of formic acid from CO 2 using a carbon nanodots‐silica hybrid photocatalyst system.In their Full Paper, R. K. Yadav et al. report a new carbon nanodots‐silica hybrid material (CNDSH) as a highly active photocatalyst for the photocatalytic‐biocatalytic coupled selective solar fuel production system from CO 2 . The CNDSH photocatalyst was obtained by a facile and ecofriendly reverse microemulsion method with a nonionic surfactant. This work would serve as a benchmark example of a carbon nanodots‐silica hybrid photocatalyst system for solar fuel production and is expected to trigger further interest in the development of efficient and ecofriendly solar CO 2 reduction systems.
