The cover picture shows effective hydrogen production from an aqueous solution of ammonia‐borane (NH 3 ‐BH 3 , AB) by bimetallic FeNi nanoparticles supported on CeO 2 . In their Full Paper, K. Mori, T. Taga, and H. Yamashita show highly dispersed and partially oxidized amorphous FeNi NPs stabilized by strong interaction with the CeO 2 is active for the catalytic dehydrogenation of AB. The advantages of this catalytic system, such as the facile preparation method, free of noble metals, and high recyclability are particularly desirable for a hydrogen vector in terms of potential industrial application in fuel cells. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 1285 ff. of Issue 8, 2015.
