The cover picture shows the visible‐light photocatalytic oxidation of water by m ‐BiVO 4 enhanced through B‐doping. This enhancement arises because B‐doping creates BO 4 tetrahedra, which are smaller than the VO 4 tetrahedra. In addition, B‐doping creates an occupied defect level for each B atom lying about 0.17 eV above the valence band maximum of pristine BiVO 4 . The BO 4 tetrahedra act as hole traps and therefore suppress the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Details are given in the Full Paper by Baibiao Huang et al. on page 1113 .
