The Inside Back Cover picture shows the transformation of glycerol into acrolein over a hierarchically mesoporous acid catalyst particle (shown in the center of the picture). The excellent performance of this catalyst is attributed to the combined action of enhanced accessibility to the active sites and acidic properties. The benefits of the catalysts are demonstrated by reaction tests in terms of activity, selectivity, and stability. In addition, comparisons with microporous HZSM‐5 and mesoporous AlMCM‐41 are provided for a comprehensive understanding of the effects of pore structures and the acid properties on the dehydration of glycerol.
