The cover picture shows uniform, carbon‐coated, single‐crystalline Co 3 O 4 porous and hollow quasi‐nanospheres, which were synthesized by an in‐situ carbon‐coating and Ostwald‐ripening solvothermal process. The coated carbon thin layer, interconnecting nanopore networks and hollow core enhance the electrochemical performance of Co 3 O 4 as an Li ion battery anode. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by J. Liu, Y. Zhou et al. on p. 3825 ff.
