Y. Yu and co‐workers report a solid‐state approach to the in‐situ fabrication of highly nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotube graphene 3D hybrid architectures, without necessitating chemical vapor deposition. Due to the robust, porous, and well‐interconnected 3D structure of the product, fast electron transport and lithium diffusion are possible, leading to superior electrochemical performance when used as a cathode host for lithium‐sulfur batteries. On page 1112, such results reveal the potential for this hybrid material for energy storage application.
