On p. 2206 , Hailong Chen and Clare P. Grey describe the molten‐salt synthesis of a new morphology for a cathode material used widely in lithium batteries, LiCoO 2 , with a similar structure, shown on the cover, to that seen for the “desert‐rose” morphology of the mineral gypsum. The material shows excellent capacity at high rates; a remarkable difference to the material used commercially.
