The cover picture shows the dry reforming of methane occurring on a nickel nanoparticle. In their Full Paper, Lee and co‐workers discuss the bonding between the carbon intermediate and oxygen from the Al‐Ce‐Zr‐O x support. Magnesium‐promoted small nickel particles allow carbon to oxygen bonding. Oxygen can be regenerated through CO 2 reduction to CO. These phenomena help to suppress carbon formation and improve catalytic activity. The results show that the magnesium‐promoted nickel/Ce‐Al‐Zr‐O x catalyst forms small nickel particles, which are highly active and reduce carbon formation. The article highlighted by this cover can be found on p. 1445 ff. of Issue 9, 2015.
