The Inside Cover picture challenges the common belief that the electron‐extracting properties (and thus the efficiency) of interfacial layers in organic photovoltaics depend on the ionic functionalities of the conjugated polyelectrolytes(CPEs) used to interface the photoactive layer and the metal electrode. Contrarily, the group of Prof. Tae‐Woo Lee finds that the efficiency can be improved regardless of the functionalities of the CPE. More details can be found in the Full Paper by H. Y. Woo, T‐W. Lee et al. on page 3062 in Issue 18, 2015 . (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201500631 ).
