Zusammenfassung:The cover feature shows chemically etched black silicon (bSi) modified with an n+‐emitter layer, where Pt/Pd cocatalysts were investigated for their photoelectrochemical performance in solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion. The production of sustainable hydrogen fuel is needed to “power up” a green global footprint. The results show a significant improvement of the photovoltage effect on bSi, owing to enhanced light scattering and redox kinetics at the interface. Details are given in the Full Paper by D. R. MacFarlane and co‐workers on page 651 in Issue 7, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201800097).
