Inside Front Cover: Orbital Rehybridization Enabling Abundant Pentagonal–Heptagonal Rings in Hard Carbon for Optimal Sodium‐Ion Batteries (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 42/2025)
The pentagonal-heptagonal rings act like “water droplets” falling into the carbon layers, inducing a water-like ripple effect in the carbon atomic layers. Consequently, it renders electrons to exhibit a water-ripple-like enrichment phenomenon, greatly enhancing sodium storage capability, as demonstrated by Wei Zhang and co-workers in their Research Article (e202512725).
