The cover picture shows the potential of amino acid layered double hydroxide nanohybrids to remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide that causes global warming. Negatively charged amino acids are immobilized between positively charged inorganic nanosheets (layered double hydroxide layers), which results in the formation of porous structures functionalized with amine groups. Amine groups in the pore easily react with adsorbed carbon dioxide to form carbamate. In this way, carbon dioxide molecules can be removed more efficiently. Details are discussed in the article by J.‐H. Choy et al. on p. 925 ff . For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
