Abstract Invited for this month's cover is the group of Dr. Hua Dong from Chengdu University of Technology, China. The cover picture shows a nonmetal catalyst (SiO 2 @H + PEI) that promotes hydrogen production by hydrolysis of NaBH 4 . This newly developed catalyst, which is fabricated by covalently modifying SiO 2 nanoparticles with protonated poly(ethylene imime), provides a promising choice for the cheap and efficient catalysis of NaBH 4 hydrolysis.
