The Cover Feature illustrates a 3D Ni framework with Li embedded inside (top figure), which enables the fast transfer of electrons and Li ions through the whole electrode and full utilization of the Li electrode. However, a 2D Li structure (bottom figure) leads to a resistive and thick passivation layer, which impedes electrons and Li‐ion transport, thereby preventing the utilization of Li at the bottom of the 2D Li foil. More information can be found in the Article by L. Yu et al. on page 761 in Issue 5, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/celc.201701250).
