Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The back cover image shows the production of isosorbide from the one‐pot hydrolytic hydrogenation and dehydration of inedible cellulose. Dr Fuwei Li and co‐workers show that isosorbide production can be achieved under hydrothermal conditions over a recyclable ruthenium catalyst supported on mesoporous niobium phosphate without the addition of soluble acids. This efficient and sustainable protocol could close the carbon cycle as a result of plants taking up CO₂ generated from the end products.
