The Inside Back Cover picture illustrates the possibility of studying the double layer of supercapacitor electrodes with carbon monoliths. The background shows a photograph of such a monolith. From the magnified image (magnifying glass, upper right), it can be observed that the monoliths are composed of two different carbon material phases: A KOH‐activated anthracite phase (blue colored) and a carbon phase which resulted from carbonization of the PVDC binder and holds the monolith together (yellow). N 2 ‐adsorption isotherms (upper left) reveal that the anthracite phase (blue curve) reaches higher adsorption amounts, indicating a higher porosity than the carbonized binder (yellow curve). More information can be found in the Article by J. M. Rojo and co‐workers on page 1016 in Issue 5, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/celc.201600848).
