Abstract
The Inside Cover picture shows the preparation of activated tire‐derived carbon using waste tires as a precursor, including chemical activation to develop porosity and formation of the polyaniline (PANI)/tire‐derived carbon flexible film for pseudocapacitive electrodes for automobile and grid energy storage applications. An impressive performance is reported using the highly flexible and conductive electrodes that exhibited a capacitance of 480 F g−1 at 1 mV s−1 with excellent capacitance retention of up to 98 % after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles. The high capacitance and long cycle life were ascribed to the short diffusional paths, uniform PANI coating, and confinement of the PANI in the inner pores of the tire‐derived carbon, which minimized its degradation upon cycling. More details can be found in the Communication by Boota et al. et al. on page 3576 in Issue 21, 2015 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201500866).
