The Cover Feature depicts two‐dimensional BiVO 4 (green rectangles) – CdS (yellow stripes) heterostructures coupled with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (ball‐and‐stick base) as a co‐catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution under visible‐light irradiation. In their Full Paper, W. Wang et al. explained the construction of heterojunction interfaces among the three composites and the synergetic effect that increases the lifetime of the charge carriers with a Z‐scheme mechanism, enhancing the photo‐redox activities of the heterostructures in oxygen and hydrogen evolution from water splitting and in pollutant degradation reactions.More information can be found in the Full Paper by W. Wang et al.
