The Cover Feature shows the natural cycle of harvesting silicon from soil and carbon from the air by using rice husks. A molten salt electrolysis approach is able to convert the rice husks to SiC/C or Si/C composites that are used as high‐performance anode in lithium‐ion batteries.More information can be found in the Article by Z.
