The Front Cover shows an innovative capsule strategy with a core–shell structure containing different Cu‐based catalyst components for more efficient CO 2 conversion to methanol through the following approach: 1) to maximize CO 2 hydrogenation to both methanol and CO over the reconstructed mm‐sized Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 core; 2) to convert the as‐formed CO into methanol while it passes through the μm‐thick Cu/ZnO/MgO shell. This work not only introduces a more efficient CO 2 ‐to‐methanol catalyst, which outperforms the traditional Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 catalyst, but also opens up a new avenue for designing superior catalysts for other consecutive transformations. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y. Guo et al. on page 4916 in Issue 22, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201902485).
