The cover image shows a scanning electron micrograph of a commercially available track‐etch polycarbonate filter. This porous membrane serves as the host for the template‐synthesis of V 2 O 5 nanowires of various diameters. Nanowires that are 70 nm in diameter are shown in the inset. Because V 2 O 5 reversibly intercalates Li‐ions, it has potential for use as a cathode material in Li‐ion batteries. On p. 125, Sides and Martin report the use of these V 2 O 5 nanowires as tools to investigate the poor low‐temperature performance of Li‐ion batteries.
