A porous carbon/silicon nanocomposite was synthesized in a one‐step procedure based on a “soft‐templating” methodology, taking advantage of phase separation between mesophase‐pitch and organic polymers as soft templates. The resulting nanocomposite exhibits a highly stable reversible capacity of 450 mA h g −1 in a vinylene carbonate‐containing electrolyte.
