The Cover Feature shows the application of 3 D cubic bimodal ordered mesoporous carbon CMK‐9 to encapsulate ultrafine CoO particles into the mesopores. The developed nanocomposite material is employed as an anode in the fabrication of lithium‐ and sodium‐ion batteries. The cubic bimodal interconnected mesoporous framework of CMK‐9 plays an important role in achieving excellent electrochemical performance by assisting the rapid mass and charge transfer. The fabricated battery shows high reversible capacity and remarkable rate capability along with long cycle life and structural durability. More information can be found in the Full Paper by D. Saikia et al. on page 2952 in Issue 11, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.2029).
