Understanding the relationship between the nanostructure of an electrode and its electrochemical performance is crucial for the development of high‐perfomance lithium‐ion batteries. In their Communication on page 13488 ff., Z. Chen, X. Chen, and co‐workers report that the aspect ratio of nanotubular materials determines battery performance at high charging/discharging rates. Their proof‐of‐concept batteries are very promising for energy‐storage systems in electrical vehicles.
