The Front Cover shows a typical frame‐filling C/C composite, in which graphene guarantees rapid electron conduction and fast ion transmission, and numerous nanoporous carbons derived from amphiphilic carbonaceous materials (ACM) provide sufficient micropores to accumulate electric double layers for energy storage. In their Article, P. Chang et al. report a series of conductive hierarchical C/C composites. Totally different from the state‐of the‐art porous carbons with high specific surface area (SSA) but low e ‐conductivity, the as‐prepared C/C composites nicely balanced those two mutual competing demands. The samples have ample SSA and adequate e ‐conductivity and perform well as conductive‐agent‐free EDLC electrode materials. More information can be found in the Article by P. Chang et al. on page 2793 in Issue 11, 2017
