The Cover shows a facile method to fabricate a Cu@CeO 2 catalyst that exhibits excellent activity and stability in the hydrogenation of methyl acetate.In their Communication, Y. Wang et al. demonstrate that the core–shell structure of Cu@CeO 2 not only prevents the aggregation of Cu particles but also enlarges the contact area between Cu and CeO 2 , which greatly increases the Cu + surface area. Moreover, the Cu 0 and Cu + active sites are well distributed on the core–shell interface, which results in a close relative position and an enhanced synergetic catalysis effect for the hydrogenation of methyl acetate. More information can be found in the Communication by Y. Wang et al. on page 2085 in Issue 12, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201700111).
