The unique structure of very‐fine Sn nanoparticles (≈8 nm) embedded in porous spherical carbon network (denoted as 8‐Sn@C), which is prepared on page 214 by L. Jiao, J. Chen, and co‐workers using an aerosol spray pyrolysis method, can effectively suppress the volume fluctuation and particle aggregation of tin during prolonged sodiation/desodiation process and thus show high performance as anode of sodium‐ion batteries.
