With great power comes great color SnO 2 nanocrystals coated with protective polydopamine appear red when fully charged and green in a discharged state. In their Communication on page 1869 ff., Z. Lin et al. describe polymer‐template‐guided formation of SnO 2 nanocrystals. The material was applied as an anode in lithium‐ion batteries––achieving excellent rate capability, long‐term stability, and operability over a range of current densities.
