  • Amorphous sulfurized polyacrylonitrile suppresses polysulfide shuttling in Li–S batteries, enabling long cycle life, but the structural processes involved during synthesis and initial cycling remained unclear. An operando pair distribution function, wide-angle scattering and sulfur absorption spectroscopy reveal S–C bond formation, π–π stacking and sulfur-chain shortening, which enable reversible sulfur redox.

  • Hydrogen oxidation in alkaline media is vital for fuel cells and ammonia compressors but typically requires costly platinum catalysts. Here the authors report a Pd-Ru pair decorated on Pt to enhance the mass activity of noble-metal for hydrogen oxidation reactions.

  • The solid–electrolyte interphase is widely viewed as key to governing the performance of rechargeable batteries, but its electrical properties remain elusive. Here the authors develop an experimental approach to directly measure the properties and show that the solid–electrolyte interphase has a voltage-dependent conducting behaviour.

  • Cell swelling poses a considerable obstacle in the development of lithium-metal batteries. Here the authors report the use of a hybrid pressure-application fixture to substantially reduce swelling, analyse the pressure distribution across the cell surface and provide insights for further battery stabilization.

  • The synthesis of porous materials designed with specific applications in mind is fundamentally challenging. Here, the authors fabricate single-molecule trap cavities designed for complimentary interactions with CO2 and show that these traps can be assembled into materials with high CO2selectivity.

  • The application of Li metal electrodes in rechargeable batteries is limited by inherent high reactivity. Here, the authors provide model-based insights into the composition and formation mechanisms of the solid-electrolyte interphase on the µs-scale and suggest design strategies for the interphase.

  • Rechargeable Li metal batteries are currently limited by electrolyte decomposition and rapid Li consumption. Li plating and stripping greatly depend on the solid electrolyte interphase formed at the Li metal–liquid electrolyte interface. This Review discusses the reactions occurring at this interface from a corrosion science perspective, highlighting the requirements for an ideal passivation layer.
