Charging clusters : A hybrid of polyoxometalate (POM) molecules individually adsorbed onto the surfaces of single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be used as a cathode‐active material in rechargeable lithium batteries. This POM/SWNT battery exhibited a very high capacity (>300 Ah kg −1 ) with a short charging/discharging time (<2 h).
