In article number 1901201, Michael De Volder and co‐workers fabricate the honeycomb structure shown in this scanning electron microscopy image by capillary self‐organization of carbon nanotubes. These honeycombs are coated with metal oxides using hydrothermal processing and are used as a 3D current collector for Li‐ion batteries.
