The Cover Feature shows novel aluminum‐based metal borohydrides as high‐capacity hydrogen storage materials. The conversion of hydrogen‐rich but explosive liquid Al(BH 4 ) 3 to a more stable family of mixed‐cation M[Al(BH 4 ) 4 ] (M=alkali metal or NH 4 + ) solid borohydrides opens new doors for energy storage. Their thermal decomposition properties show diverse behaviors and provides this family of solids with convenient and versatile properties, putting aluminum borohydride chemistry in the mainstream of the hydrogen storage research.
