The Cover Feature exhibits the concept of a supramolecular electrolyte (SSE) in lithium metal batteries. Supramolecular organization is used to fabricate the ion channel (represented by the bridge) to connect the lithium‐metal electrode (represented by the flaring mountain). Structural units cucurbit[6]uril are shown as streetlights along the ion channel to enlighten the Li + (vehicles) moving from/to the lithium metal electrode.
