In article number 2000219 Chun‐Sheng Jiang and co‐workers find highly inhomogeneous ionic and electronic transport in ceramic and polymer/ceramic hybrid solid state electrolytes by developing an atomic force microscopy‐based half‐cell setup, and using a logarithm‐scale amplifier with a wide current range in mA‐fA. This nonuniform ionic current originates from highly crystalline orientation‐dependent kinetic barriers and represents a new factor for induction of Li dendrite formation and growth that should be mitigated.
