A heteroatom‐doped carbon material for high‐performance lithium–sulfur batteries is reported in article number 1703936 by Xiaoju Li, Ruihu Wang, and co‐workers. The integration of main‐chain imidazolium‐based ionic polymer and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) yields porous materials. They can serve as an effective sulfur host, and both the electrical conductivity from CNTs and polysulfide entrapping ability from the heteroatom‐doped carbons are inherited and strengthened.
