The Front Cover image shows that in a biphasic reaction system ( n ‐decane+H 2 O), high yields of hexanols can be produced from mechanocatalytically depolymerized cellulose by using Ir–ReO x /SiO 2 as catalyst, which was developed in our laboratory. Hexanols would be an attractive candidate for biofuels and chemicals that could contribute to the solution of the energy crisis to some extent, such as the stars light up the night sky. In addition, the treatment of cellulose is put into the red tornado. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Liu et al. on page 628 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201403010 ).
