The Inside cover picture shows the concept of using p‐type semiconductors as photocatalysts for carbon dioxide conversion into chemicals and fuels. Although p‐ and n‐type semiconductors are mainly considered as basic components used in electronics, the distinction between these two types of semiconductors may also be crucial for photocatalysis. The paper demonstrates that p‐type semiconductors (e.g., CuI) may appear more efficient in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction processes than n‐type materials (e.g., TiO 2 ), usually very efficient in photooxidation reactions. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Baran et al. on page 2933 in Issue 20, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201600289).
