C. B. Park, K. Kang and co‐workers on page 2558 present a simple but powerful strategy for the design of high‐performance organic electrodes for rechargeable batteries, through the reassembly of electroactive aromatic molecules into nanolayers on carbon nanotubes. The resulting flexible nanohybrid electrodes can store a large amount of electrical energy in an ultrafast and sustainable way. This strategy is expected to be easily extended to various aromatic molecules, which can broaden candidate pools for green‐energy materials.
