Front Cover: The reactive plasma species nitrate (NO 3 ‐) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) were produced in high selectivity in water using air and argon, respectively, in a needle and plate electrode assembly. The plasma treated water was used as an efficient and environmentally friendly electrolyte for anodizing titanium metal. The NO 3 ‐ from air plasma is the key factor in the formation of TiO 2 nanotubes and the H 2 O 2 from the argon plasma assists the oxidation process. Further details can be found in the article by A. T. Ambujakshan et al. on page 1600219 .
