The Inside Back Cover picture shows a newly developed K‐Mo 2 C/γ‐Al 2 O3 catalyst that increases process efficiency by lowering the barrier for CO 2 dissociation to CO through the reverse water‐gas shift (RWGS) reaction. The CO can then be hydrogenated to jet fuel through Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. Such catalyst can be integrated with a patented electrolytic cation exchange module (E‐CEM), with which the U.S. Navy can extract CO 2 and H 2 from seawater to synthesize jet fuel. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Porosoff et al. page 2408 in Issue 11, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201700412).
