Front Cover: Field‐Directed Growth of Hematite for Advanced Solar Hydrogen Production (Adv. Energy Sustainability Res. 1/2026)

Field-Directed Growth of Hematite An innovative mf-CVD approach, in which an external magnetic field directs the growth of thin films during chemical vapor deposition, enables the structural tailoring of hematite nanostructures. The resulting photoanodes demonstrate enhanced performance in solar water oxidation and exceptional stability over 100 hours. This technique opens a new avenue for producing highly organized materials toward advanced energy and sustainable applications. More details can be found in the Research Article by Fabio A. Pires, Sanjay Mathur and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/aesr.202500313).
