The Cover Feature shows the photo‐generated carrier separation mechanism based on an interfacial model consisting of TiO 2 (1 0 1) and (0 0 1) facets, which were studied employing DFT methods. In their Full Paper, W. Song, S. Ma et al. introduced the “selective migration” electronic structure concept for the design of surface junctions, which is an effective method to increase the photogenerated carrier (excited electrons and photogenerated holes) separation efficiency. These results are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the surface junction and a guide for designing new photocatalysts. More information can be found in the Full Paper by W. Song, S. Ma et al. on page 4340 in Issue 23, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201700922).
