Graphical Abstract

Front Cover

In article number 2401361, Kwon, Woo, and co-workers demonstrated that the electrochemical degradation of highly loaded graphite composite anodes can be improved by a transient flashlight irradiation. This flash-derived surface activation technique is compatible with roll-to-roll, scalable processes, providing a new solution for the fabrication of large-scale, highly loaded electrodes.
