The Cover Feature shows the pioneering use of a pure thin film of [SiW 11 O 39 ] 8 − polyoxometalate (POM) structure as a scaffold layer for CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 ‐based perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In their Full Paper, Sardashti et al. demonstrate high‐efficiency PSCs fabricated using solution‐based low‐temperature deposition methods in ambient conditions. The smooth nanoporous structure of POM with high electron transport in the interlayer and the modified POM/perovskite interface result in high‐performance PSCs with no hysteresis and low recombination. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Sardashti et al.on page 3773 in Issue 19, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201701027).
