The front cover artwork was chosen to show a composite film of silicon carbide nanoparticles and poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) as the counter‐electrode material for a dye‐sensitized solar cell. The optimized composite provides a good overall electrocatalytic ability, a reasonable intrinsic heterogeneous rate constant, a large effective electrocatalytic surface area, and a high cell efficiency.
