Super‐short carbon nanotubes with uniform and molecular scale length, which can be regarded as carbon nanorings (CNRs), are difficult to obtain from long carbon nanotubes. Wensheng Yang and co‐workers report on page 1125 a strategy for fabricating CNRs with ∼1 nm length in the confined interlayer galleries of a layered double hydroxide which exhibit excellent lithium storage performance under high‐rate charge and discharge.
