The inside cover shows a strategy to fabricate Cu 2 O/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) junction photocatalysts for the photoreduction of CO 2 into solar fuel. With superior photoactivity for CO 2 reduction, the junction further exhibits dramatically improved photostability. The perfect performance of the photocatalysts can be ascribed to the role of RGO as an efficient electron acceptor and a protection layer. The study by Tang et al. presents useful information for other photocatalysts modification for efficient CO 2 reduction without the need of a noble metal cocatalyst; more details can be found in the Full Paper on page 1086 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201301194 ).
