Milder, faster, stronger, better! The cover shows a conceptual hydrogen battery in which H 2 storage and its release are achieved through reversible catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 with an Ru‐PNP pincer complex. In their Communication on p. 1526 ff., E. A. Pidko et al. describe a homogeneous catalytic system that shows unprecedented activity in both CO 2 hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of HCO 2 H. The authors describe a key role of the base promoter on the reaction mechanism, the overall performance of the system, and its H 2 storage capacity.
