Summary:The Front Cover shows the novel synthesis approach of 3Ni1Sn/ZnO catalysts derived from a mixed‐metal zeolitic imidazolate framework (MM‐ZIF) for the catalytic conversion of biomass‐derived crude glycerol into 1,2‐propanediol, which is one of the pivotal processes in biorefinery for the production of renewable value‐added chemicals. The synergy between the Ni−Sn alloy, finely dispersed Ni metallic sites, and the Lewis acidity of SnOx species‐loaded ZnO played a pivotal role in the high activity and selectivity of the catalyst.
