The Inside Cover picture shows a promising H 2 storage system in water under very mild conditions. As we all know, green plants convert CO 2 to sugar for energy storage through photosynthesis, which can also release CO 2 by respiration. Thus, by mimicking nature, we report a new homogeneous iridium catalyst with a proton‐responsive ligand that uses CO 2 and H 2 to store energy efficiently in formic acid and releases them by employing the same catalyst in aqueous media without the need of organic additives/solvents. More details can be found in the Communication by Wang et al. on page 1071 in Issue 6, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201601437).
