The Cover Feature shows a ReS 2 /graphite carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) heterojunction with enhanced efficiency in reactive oxygen species (e.g. singlet oxygen) generation and photocatalytic activity in contaminant degradation. In their Full Paper, H. Li et al. illustrate electrostatic and coordination interactions between ReS 2 and g‐C 3 N 4 in detail, which are the driving force for the heterojunction construction. The interfacial electric field between ReS 2 and g‐C 3 N 4 in the heterojunction can accelerate hole transfer from ReS 2 to g‐C 3 N 4 and electron transfer oppositely, which eventually enhances the charge separation efficiency and photoactivity of the heterojunction. More information can be found in the Full Paper by H. Li et al. on page 1633 in Issue 6, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201802021).
