One‐step carbonization of biomass can produce high surface area carbon without introducing extra activation agents. Q.‐H. Yang, J. Luo, and co‐workers demonstrate in article 1604687 how biomass organs control the porosity of pyrolyzed carbon. The naturally embedded alkalis at the molecular level in biomasses are shown to have a paramount influence on the etching efficiency and thereby on microstructure and porosity.
