In article number 1500716, Liang Zhou, Liqiang Mai, and co‐workers report the fabrication of K 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C bundled nanowires using a facile organic‐acid‐assisted method. The organic acid acts as a carbon precursor and as a directing agent, promoting the formation of K 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C bundled nanowires. With a highly stable framework, nanoporous structure, and conductive carbon coating, K 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C bundled nanowires exhibit fast ion diffusion and excellent electron conduction when used as a cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries.
