Nanofibers with a unique structure comprising yolk–shell Sn@void@SnO/SnO 2 nanospheres are generated by J. S. Cho and Y. C. Kang by applying the nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion process during conventional electrospinning. On page 4673, nanofibers prepared by applying this process exhibit superior electrochemical properties compared to those of porous‐structured SnO 2 nanofibers prepared by the conventional post‐treatment process. The front cover image reveals the highly efficient lithium storage process of nanofibers composed of Sn@void@SnO/SnO 2 yolk–shell nanospheres.
