Inside Front Cover: Enhancing Interfacial Charge Transport in Gold Nanoparticle@Polyaniline Hybrids via <i>N</i> ‐Heterocyclic Carbene Linkers
N-Heterocyclic carbenes bridge the electronic gap between gold nanoparticles and polyaniline. In Research Article e26136, Ningwei Sun, Franziska S.-C. Lissel, and co-workers report the first experimental proof that NHC linkers enhance interfacial charge transport in gold nanoparticles/conductive polymer hybrids, enabling stronger electronic coupling and opening new opportunities for electronically integrated hybrid nanomaterials.
