The front cover image illustrates a redox shuttle reaction of NO 2 − /NO 2 molecules with a toroid‐shape lithium peroxide in the lithium oxygen battery for a possible application in electric vehicles. Oxygen gases are recovered from the lithium peroxide during the shuttle reaction, which is efficiently promoted in the solvent with high dielectric constant and good compatibility with lithium metal anode. Detailed mechanism and process are discussed in article number 1700235 by Dong Wook Kim and his colleagues at Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology.
