Problems attaching alkali ions onto graphene surfaces impedes the realization of graphene‐based ionic conductors for battery applications because of the weak interactions between the ions and the functional groups on the graphene oxide. On page 3451, to overcome this problem, S. K. Saha, D. Chakravorty, and co‐workers functionalize graphene oxide with 1‐aza‐15‐crown‐5, which can bind Li + ions. The advantage of using cage like aza‐crown is to bind the Li + ion as well as to achieve isolated Li + ‐ion conductors for battery applications.
