The Inside Cover picture shows the purification of silica using a new room‐temperature “greener” route compared to the traditional calcination approach. The new route reduces energy cost by 95 %, recovers 100 % of the template, yet completely purifies silica within minutes. Below, the mechanism for this greener approach is shown, with template molecules (red) being controllably removed from silica (grey). More details can be found in the Full Paper by Manning et al. on page 1683 in Issue 8, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201700027).
