In article number 1603922 , Amy C. Marschilok, Esther S. Takeuchi, Guihua Yu, and co‐workers develop a 3D nanostructured conductive‐polymer gel as a novel binder system for lithium‐ion batteries. The gel binder greatly enhances the rate capability and cyclic stability of battery electrodes because the molecular framework facilitates both electron and ion transport and the polymer coating formed in situ improves the dispersity of active particles within the entire electrode.
