The Cover Feature shows that various lignin derivatives are catalytically transformed to value‐added chemicals and biofuel using bimetallic catalysts supported on a network as background. In their Minireview, T. Li et al. discuss that there are four different effects between the two metals in the bimetallic catalysts: The electronic (ligand) effect, the synergistic effect, the stabilizing effect and the geometric (ensemble) effect. These effects lead to changes in the surface properties, thus improving the catalytic performance of lignin hydrogenolysis. Further perspectives for the design of more efficient bimetallic catalysts in biomass conversion are presented. More information can be found in the Minireview by T. Li et al.
