The Back Cover picture shows the direct electricity generation from the solar remediation of aqueous pollutants in a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC). Such technology, which can be integrated in wastewater treatment infrastructures, is part of the wider vision of solar harvesting for future sustainability. This work demonstrates the statistical optimization of well‐ordered nanostructured photoelectrodes, and further classifies their specific interactions with different model pollutant classes. Such studies enable the preliminary prediction of the multicomponent interactions and their influence on PFC efficiencies when dealing with actual wastewater consisting of a mixture of wide ranging organic compounds.More details can be found in the Full Paper by C. Hu et al. on page 4005 in Issue 23, 2015 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201500793).
