The Front Cover image illustrates the importance of organized mesoporous SnO 2 film with high porosity, larger pores, and good interconnectivity in dye‐sensitized solar‐cells (DSSC) applications. Although SnO 2 films have been studied to increase electron transport, a multifunctional SnO 2 film with high porosity and an organized mesoporous structure has not yet been reported. The group of Prof. Jong Hak Kim prepared multi‐functional organized mesoporous SnO 2 (om‐SnO 2 ) film through a facile sol–gel process using a cheap graft copolymer as a structure‐directing agent. The use of om‐SnO 2 film resulted in enhanced light harvesting, increased electron transport, reduced charge recombination, and decreased interfacial/internal resistance. More details can be found in the Full Paper on page 2037 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201301215 ), while more information about the research group is available in the Cover Profile (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201400102 ).
