封面故事：

该图以深海为背景，图中青色的亮面颗粒与深蓝色小球展示了氧化铟材料的表面结构，粉色的小球团簇代表负载于氧化铟之上的银团簇。负载银团簇与氧化铟之间形成的相互作用促进了电荷转移从而活化了银团簇。产生的银-氧化铟界面活性位点促进了CO₂的活化与加氢，实现了银催化剂高效CO₂加氢合成甲醇反应。该研究为构建金属-载体强相互作用以调控反应活性提供了有效参考，深化了对于负载氧化铟基催化剂的活性位点与反应路径的认识。

封底

封面故事：在光照条件下，水中有机染料可被BiOI/Bi/TiO₂完全降解为CO₂和H₂O。图中轨道模型展现利用TiO₂纳米片中富电子氧空位原位形成的三元夹心结构BiOI/Bi/TiO₂光催化剂的结构特征。DFT计算和实验结果证实了TiO₂纳米片上的富电子氧空位与吸附的BiO⁺相互作用，导致Bi-O键断裂，在异质结界面形成金属Bi纳米颗粒。该工作讨论了基于该结构的界面电荷动力学传输，为进一步开发含金属媒介的多元异质结光催化剂提供了有益的思路。
