Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Roger Alberto at the University of Zürich, Switzerland. The cover image shows the reduction of protons by illumination of a catalytic mixture containing a cobalt‐based water‐reduction catalyst (WRC), a rhenium(I)–alkynyl photosensitizer, a proton source (H + ), and a sacrificial electron donor (D/D + ). The final product, hydrogen gas, stores the energy of light in its chemical bond.
