The Front Cover shows a continuous high‐pressure gas evolution system over 120 MPa without any compressing procedure, followed by a vapor‐liquid H 2 separation. In their Communication, Iguchi et al. found that high‐pressure gas evolution with a high rate into H 2 and CO 2 from formic acid can be obtained under mild reaction conditions in the presence of water‐soluble homogeneous Ir catalyst, and no CO was detected even at the maximum pressure (123 MPa). They further developed the H 2 separation system, and 85 mol % of high‐pressure H 2 gas can be concentrated by a simple vapor‐liquid separation. Their system has the potential to be used as a simple and easy to handle system for the generation of high‐pressure H 2 to feed to fuel cell vehicles. More information can be found in the Communication by Iguchi et al. on page 886 in Issue 5, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201501296).
