A tensile‐strained MXene/CNT porous microsphere was developed by Xin Wang, Zhongwei Chen, and co‐workers in their Research Article on page 2371 as an electrocatalyst for high‐performance lithium–sulfur batteries. A unique O‐Ti‐C interface was constructed on the MXene surface through a spray‐drying process and heat treatment to produce internal stress, inducing lattice distortion and expansion of the Ti−Ti bonds.
