Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1501929, Jia Xie, Lina Zhang, and co‐workers present the construction of a hierarchical N/S‐codoped carbon anode via a cost‐effective and "green" route by pyrolyzing the cellulose/polyaniline composite microspheres. The micro‐nanometer and atomic‐level structure, designed via fabrication of the cellulose porous microspheres and N/S heteroatoms co‐doping, ensures the carbon electrode an excellent rate capability and ultra‐long cycle life in sodium‐ion batteries, making it highly promising for large‐scale energy storage applications.
