The cover picture illustrates a type of highly efficient peroxidase mimic—polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)‐capped Pt nanocubes less than 10 nm in size. The cubes could effectively generate a colored signal by catalyzing the oxidation of peroxidase substrates, making them extremely suitable for sensing and imaging applications. Notably, the cubes showed a record‐high area specific catalytic efficiency among all the previously reported peroxidase mimics. More information can be found in the Communication by X. Xia et al. on page 33 in Issue 1, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201600268).
