In article number 1700174 by Hailei Zhao and co‐workers, carbon‐sheathed MoS 2 nanothorns, epitaxially grown on CNTs are prepared as a high‐stable and ultrafast lithium storage material. The epitaxial growth provides strong adhension between MoS 2 and CNTs via chemical C–S bonding, ensuring not only a high stability but also a high‐efficiency electron‐conduction/ion‐transportation system on cycling. The prepared electrode exhibits high specific capacity, superior rate capability and excellent long‐cycling stability.
