The Cover Feature shows the application of a pyrrolidinium‐based ionic liquid with a borohydride anion to simultaneously capture and reduce large amounts of CO 2 . The ionic liquid cation interacts with CO 2 , allowing the borohydride to fix and reduce it to tri‐formatoborohydride (represented as a pitcher plant that can attract and digest CO 2 ). Formic acid can be collected by adding HCl solution. More information can be found in the Full Paper by L. Lombardo et al. on page 2025 in Issue 8, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201903514).
