Back Cover: A 3D Organically Synthesized Porous Carbon Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 37/2018)

Porous carbon could not be designed on a molecular level until now. In their Communication on page 11952 ff., T. Ben, A. Trewin, and co-workers report an organic synthetic strategy to attain porous carbon by design on the molecular level. This sp–sp3 hybridized porous carbon, OSPC-1, is a highly promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high capacity and resistance to dendrite formation. This method has the potential to extend research frontiers to a new family of porous carbon materials.
