The Cover Feature illustrates a wet‐chemical synthesis method using Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 and ascorbic acid in absolute ethanol solution for the preparation of isotropic copper nanoparticles. A strong surface inhibition effect of the PVP protective additive remarkably refines the particle size. Electrodeposition analysis provides insights for the preparation of metallic nanoparticles and an understanding of their deposition mechanism. More information can be found in the Aricle by G. Yang, X. Zeng et al.
