Sustainable sodium‐ion batteries (SSIBs) using renewable organic electrodes are promising alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries for the large‐scale renewable energy storage. However, the lack of high‐performance anode material impedes the development of SSIBs. Herein, we report a new type of organic...
