In article number 1601549, Dongjiang Yang, Shaojun Guo, and co‐workers report on a simple seaweed biomass conversion strategy towards porous LiFePO 4 /carbon hybrid microtubes (LFP/CMTs) with very low Fe‐Li antisite defects. The low Fe‐Li antisite re‐sults from the cation confinement by the novel “egg‐box” structure in the seaweed‐derived sodium alginate template. These LFP/CMT electrodes exhibit superior discharge capacity and outstanding rate capacity for lithium ion batteries.
