The Cover Feature shows a typical chemoselective hydrogenation scheme catalyzed by cellulose‐supported (represented as a traditional Japanese paper crane) Pd nanoparticles. In their Full Paper, T. Yamada et al. developed two types of chemoselective heterogeneous palladium catalysts, using cellulose particles and monolithic cellulose as supports. The Pd nanoparticles were strongly immobilized on cellulose particles and monolithic cellulose with negligible leaching during hydrogenation reaction. Both catalysts could be reused by simple filtration without degradation of the catalyst activity. Since the use of cellulose results in carbon neutrality and circulates carbon dioxide, it has attracted attention as an alternative to industrially synthesized polymers derived from fossil fuels.
