Redox flow batteries have the potential to accelerate the transition to a green‐energy economy by integrating renewable technologies into the electrical grid. Their porous carbon electrodes need to balance the trade‐off between mass transport and kinetics. In article number 2006716, Antoni Forner‐Cuenca and co‐workers show that non‐solvent induced phase separation can be leveraged as a versatile and facile method for fabricating high‐surface‐area microstructures, with hierarchical porous architectures well‐suited for use in flow batteries.
