Cover: The cover illustrates a new strategy for the facile synthesis of silver halide/polyaniline nanocomposites with different polyaniline morphologies. By oxidation polymerization of aniline in HX solution with the presence of DBSA‐stabilized silver naonoparticles, AgX/PANI nanocomposites with the nanoparticles encapsulated in the PANI nanotubes or nanofibers are successfully prepared. The structures and morphologies of these nanocomposites are confirmed and the formation mechanism of silver halide/polyaniline nanocomposites with tunable polyaniline morphologies is discussed.
