Invited for this month′s cover is the Minireview by the groups of Prof. Fattakhova‐Rohlfing and Prof. Bein at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), University of Duisburg‐Essen (UDE), and Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München (LMU), on tin oxide‐based anodes for alkali (lithium, sodium, and potassium) ion batteries. The image shows the lithiation, sodiation, and potassiation of a SnO 2 /graphene composite material represented by a SnO 2 unit cell chain‐linked to an underlying graphene sheet. The cross‐section of a battery depicts a branched SnO 2 ‐based nanostructure undergoing conversion and alloying reactions with alkali ions, affecting its nano‐ and microstructure, as indicated by the volume and textural changes. The Minireview itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.201901487.
