The Cover Feature shows that Pd single atoms dispersed over Fe 3 O 4 are active in the selective hydrogenation of CO 2 to ethanol, but if the reaction is conducted over Pd clusters the products are CO and CH 4 . In their Communication, F. J. Caparrós et al. used HAADF‐STEM to show the progressive transformation of a Pd/Fe 3 O 4 catalyst containing Pd single atoms into Pd clusters and nanoparticles upon heating, and correlate it with the catalytic transformation of CO 2 . By comparing with other inorganic oxide supports decorated with Pd single atoms, the results show that a specific interaction between Pd single atoms and Fe 3 O 4 originates a particular architecture for C−C coupling. More information can be found in the Communication by F. J. Caparrós et al. on page 2365 in Issue 11, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201800362).
