On page 3381, S. Sato, S. Orimo, H. Isobe, and co‐workers present the first macrocyclic material to be utilized in negative electrodes of all‐solid‐state, rechargeable lithium batteries. Assembled to align the molecular openings, the macrocycle paves paths for lithium to migrate to the π‐stack intercalation sites for the storage. The macrocyclic nanochannel of a nanometer‐scale diameter further provides extra spaces for the lithium storage to surpass conventional graphitic electrodes in the capacity.
