The Cover Feature maps the ongoing endeavor to bridge the gap between well‐defined but strongly simplified model studies and realistic but convoluted applied battery research, by stepwise increasing the complexity of the electrode materials and conditions. Here, this starts with structurally well‐defined electrode surfaces such as highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)‐based substrates, which are characterized first by surface science methods, and next by electrochemical characterization methods. They are then compared to more realistic, binder‐free graphite powder electrodes. More information can be found in the Full Paper by I. Weber et al. on page 2589 in Issue 10, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202000495).
