The work presented by K. Kang and team on page 534 demonstrates that natural graphite, which has been regarded electrochemically inactive as electrode for Na ion batteries, can function as an excellent anode material for Na ion batteries when ether‐based electrolytes are used. The authors reveal Na storage mechanism in natural graphite in detail where Na + ‐solvent co‐intercalation occurs combined with pseudocapacitive behaviors.
