The Front Cover shows a symbolic rocket. The main structure of the rocket represents ZSM‐5 zeolite, and the boosters represent the added Ga and Cr species, respectively. This picture means that propane is rapidly converted into propene and hydrogen on Ga and Cr modified ZSM‐5 zeolite, and then converted into BTX aromatics. In their Full Paper, B. Xu et al. introduced Cr to Ga/ZSM‐5 catalyst by tuning the impregnation sequence and amount. Plenty of Cr 3+ species and strong interaction between Ga species and ZSM‐5 promoted the propane dehydrogenation. More propene was preferred to be produced and were further converted into BTX. More information can be found in the Full Paper by B. Xu et al.
