The shuttling behavior and sluggish conversion kinetics of intermediate lithium polysulfides (LiPS) represent the main obstacles to the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, an innovative sulfur host is proposed, based on an iodine-doped bismuth selenide (I-BiSe), able to solve these limitations by immobilizing the LiPS and catalytically activating the redox conversion at the cathode.

Atomically dispersed metals maximize the number of catalytic sites and enhance their activity. However, their challenging synthesis and characterization strongly complicates their optimization. Here, the aim is to demonstrate that tuning the electronic environment of atomically dispersed metal catalysts through the modification of their edge coordination is an effective strategy to maximize their performance.

Advanced medical treatments involving drug delivery require fully biocompatible materials with the ability to release functional drugs in a time-prolonged way. Ideally, the delivered molecules should be self-contained as chemically homogenous entities to prevent the use of potentially toxic scaffolds or hold matrices. [...]
