The Cover Feature shows a sodium‐ion battery consisting of a tin electrode that has been successfully modified with copper. This is achieved by introducing a thiourea ligand into a copper complex, which reduces the redox potential of the complex. The resulting material can be used as a free‐standing electrode that can be reversibly cycled in a sodium‐ion battery for a large number of cycles at high capacities. More information can be found in the Communication by Wang et al. on page 3376 in Issue 19, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201801662).
