Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover illustrates two battery‐shaped coffee cups filled with coffee. In addition, the scientists (represented by gloved hands) have added both pure iron and an iron solution to the cups. The left cup filled with iron is highly energetic and strikes sparks, indicating better electrochemical performance and crystallinity than the right cup filled with the iron solution. The impact of activator addition prior to 'catalytic' graphitization and its effect on material and electrochemical properties is systematically investigated.
