Three dimensional (3D) ordered hierarchically porous electrodes with an entrapped active nanoparticle configuration, as described by H. H. Hng, X. Huang and co‐workers on page 1296, afford an extremely effective conductive 3D network from the micrometer to the nanometer scale for fast electron and Li‐ion transport. The unique configuration also allows the development of a stable solid electrolyte interphase over the electrode materials giving rise to extraordinary rate capabilities.
