Abstract Invited for this issue's Front Cover is the group of Electroanalytical Chemistry of Prof. Luigi Falciola. The Cover Feature shows the photoelectrochemical sensor prepared by covering AuNPs with a thin layer of TiO2. The obtained hybrid material, which exploits synergistically the properties of its components, was used to monitor ciprofloxacin, exhibiting a response only once irradiated. Good performances were obtained using a low‐power LED. Such discovery may pave the way for future in situ applications in environmental monitoring.
