Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Antonino Gulino at the University of Catania, Italy. The cover image shows the formation of Au_ZnO core‐shell nanoparticles using a Zn complex that acts as capping agent for the Au nanoparticles and as ZnO precursor. These Au_ZnO nanoparticles absorb both visible and UV light and behave as photocatalysts.
