The Front Cover shows a representation of a H 2 economy, based on production, storage, and utilization using our developed liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) material. H 2 generated by solar‐driven water splitting is loaded into the H 2 ‐lean LOHC by the hydrogenation reaction in a chemical plant and is then transported through the present energy transport infrastructures, for example, a tanker with a pressure‐free vessel. The corresponding H 2 ‐rich material releases H 2 very fast on the Pd surface at energy‐demand sites including a H 2 charging station for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). After H 2 release, a tanker containing the H 2 ‐lean molecules goes back to the H 2 ‐supply sites for refueling. More information can be found in the Communication by Oh et al. on page 661 in Issue 4, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201702256).
