The Cover Feature shows the production of high‐value‐added chemicals hydroxyacetone and hydroxy‐2‐butanone by selective hydrogenolysis of cellulose over a Ni 3 Sn 4 ‐SnO x catalyst. This study provides a means for the transformation of abundant biomass to fine chemicals by using efficient, reusable, and inexpensive catalysts. More information can be found in the Communication by Wang et al. on page 2154 in Issue 10, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201900172).
