Cover Picture: Activation Effect of Fullerene C 60 on the Carbon Dioxide Absorption Performance of Amine‐Rich Polypropylenimine Dendrimers (ChemSusChem 16/2015)

The Cover Picture shows the activation effect of fullerene C 60 on the amino groups of polypropylenimine (PPI) dendrimers toward CO 2 capture. The addition of C 60 to PPI to form PPI–C 60 cross‐linked composites results in a reduction of the energy barrier of CO 2 absorption by the amine functionalities of PPI. This finding supports the existence of a nonaffinity “repulsive” effect between hydrophobic C 60 and hydrophilic amines that forces the latter to spread out and be actively exposed to CO 2 .
