The Cover Feature shows a novel mixed‐surfactant‐assisted synthesis of dual‐phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 ‐TiO 2 (RLTO) hierarchical microspheres. The Yin and Yang patterns in Tai Chi refer to the anionic and cationic surfactants, respectively. The synergistic effects between anionic and cationic surfactants, which originate from different electrostatic interactions (F=KqQ/r 2 ) and Van der Waals (VdW) forces, can regulate the dual‐phase ratio and primary structures morphology of RLTO. More information can be found in the Full Paper by D. Li et al. on page 4412 in Issue 19, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201901896).
