Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The Back Cover image shows utilization of CO<sub>2</sub>, which holds great promise as a sustainable feedstock rather than a waste. The idea of the whole image comes from an ancient Chinese Taiji (Taoism) nose map: on the one hand, CO<sub>2</sub> is an exhaust gas and a greenhouse gas; on the other hand, it can be upgraded into numerous fruits through an ingenious methodology, namely catalysis, which can be considered as a great contribution towards realizing a beautiful world and better life. Incorporation of CO<sub>2</sub> into chemicals can be achieved through a catalytic pathway at ambient conditions. This metal‐promoted protocol can be applied to various transformations of CO<sub>2</sub> into value‐added products on a 10 g scale. The synergic activation mode based on the bifunctional silver(I) catalyst used is supported by DFT studies, NMR spectroscopy, <sup>13</sup>C labelling, and control experiments.
