The Front Cover shows the application of transition metal carbonate anodes in a lithium ion battery for a sustainable and green energy system, which features good performance, low cost, and a simple synthesis procedure. A new two‐step reaction mechanism including the redox conversion of MCO 3 (step I) and the reduction of Li 2 CO 3 to Li 2 O and Li 2 C 2 (step II), was unambiguously identified. More information can be found in the Microreview by J. Li et al. For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
