Abstract:
The front cover artwork is provided by the groups of Prof. BeiBei, Xiao and Lei, Yang (Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, China) as well as Dr. ErHong, Song (Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China). The image shows that the environmental-friendly N2 -to-NH3 conversion is achieved by the V decorated MoS2 monolayer with the 1T atomic configuration, featured by the effective electrocatalysis in combination with the good electronic conductivity.

Nitriles to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...
