The Cover Feature shows the generation of furan from furfuryl alcohol as a biomass‐derived chemical feedstock with H 2 and CO using a CeO 2 ‐supported Pd nanoparticle catalyst under air. In their Communication, S. Yamaguchi et al. demonstrate a promising strategy for the transformation of various aliphatic and aromatic primary alcohols into the corresponding one‐carbon shorter hydrocarbons in high yields without any additives. These results show that the Pd nanoparticles on partially reduced CeO 2 surface play a decisive role in the high catalytic activity and selectivity under air. More information can be found in the Communication by S. Yamaguchi et al.
