The Cover Feature shows the native lattice structure of bournonite materials characterized by stereochemically active electron lone pair distributions, a key property for low thermal conductivity. Local distortions and chemical bonding changes upon doping with different elements can enhance or inhibit the thermal conductivity, which is important for thermoelectric transport control. More information can be found in the Article by A. R. Khabibullin et al. on page 2635 in Issue 20, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201800613).
