Cover image : Li‐I 2 battery could deliver higher energy and power density than some existing Li‐ion batteries. In order to realize such a tremendous potential, a carbon energy research team by Shanqing Zhang at Griffith University developed a simple “salty” thermal treatment to convert a coffee extract into a functional honeycomb‐like carbon materials as an interlayer (article number 10.1002/cey2.40 ) to overcome the inherent barriers of Li‐I 2 battery, i.e., inhibit the dissolution and the shuttle of iodine. Consequently, the as‐prepared Li‐I 2 battery achieved high energy and power density performance with excellent cycle stability.
