The Cover Feature shows the cycling of a phase‐change material in the context of solar‐thermal energy storage application. Energy in the form of heat is harvested from the sun during the day, causing the melting of the phase‐change material. The energy is stored in the liquid form and can be slowly released after sunset. Phase‐change materials can be a promising solution for the intermittency of renewable energy sources. More information can be found in the Full Paper by K. Matuszek et al. on page 159 in Issue 1, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201902601).
