Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage systems based on sulfur and lithium can theoretically deliver high energy with the further benefit of low cost. However, the working mechanism of this device involves the dissolution of sulfur to high-molecular weight lithium polysulfides (LiPs with general formula Li2Sn, n≥4) in the electrolyte during the discharge process. Therefore, the resulting migration of partially dissociated LiPs by diffusion or under the effect of the electric field to the lithium anode, activates an internal shuttle mechanism, reduces the active material and in general leads to loss of performance and cycling stability. These drawbacks poses challenges to the commercialization of Li/S cells in the short term. In this study, we report on the decoration of reduced graphene oxide with MoO3 particles to enhance interactions with LiPs and retain sulfur at the cathode side. The combination of experiments and density functional theory calculations demonstrated improvements in binding interactions between the cathode and sulfur species, enhancing the cycling stability of the Li/S cells.

Abstract
The preparation of electroactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications of supercapacitors and batteries has received much attention and remarkable progress during the past few years. MOF-based materials including pristine MOFs, hybrid MOFs or MOF composites, and MOF derivatives are well designed by a combination of organic linkers (e.g., carboxylic acids, conjugated aromatic phenols/thiols, conjugated aromatic amines, and N-heterocyclic donors) and metal salts to construct predictable structures with appropriate properties. This review will focus on construction strategies of pristine MOFs and hybrid MOFs as anodes, cathodes, separators, and electrolytes in supercapacitors and batteries. Descriptions and discussions follow categories of electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), pseudocapacitors (PSCs), and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) for supercapacitors. In contrast, Li-ion batteries (LIBs), Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), Sodium-sulfur batteries (SSBs), Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), Zinc-air batteries (ZABs), Aluminum-sulfur batteries (ASBs), and others (e.g., LiSe, NiZn, H+ , alkaline, organic, and redox flow batteries) are categorized for batteries.

Abstract
Thin films with effective ion sieving ability are highly desired in energy storage and conversion devices, including batteries and fuel cells. However, it remains challenging to design and fabricate cost-effective and easy-to-process ultrathin films for this purpose. Here, we report a 300 nm-thick functional layer based on porous organic cages (POCs), a new class of porous molecular materials, for fast and selective ion transport. This solution processable material allows for the design of thin films with controllable thickness and tunable porosity by tailoring cage chemistry for selective ion separation. In the prototype, the functional layer assembled by CC3 can selectively sieve Li+ ions and efficiently suppress undesired polysulfides with minimal sacrifice for the system's total energy density. Separators modified with POC thin films enable batteries with good cycle performance and rate capability and offer an attractive path toward the development of future high-energy-density energy storage devices.

Abstract
It is of great significance to mediate the redox kinetics and shuttle effect of polysulfides in pursuit of high-energy-density and long-life lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, a new strategy is proposed based on the electrostatic attraction and catalytic effect of polysulfides for the modification of the polypropylene (PP) separator. Guanidinium-based ionic-covalent organic nanosheets (iCON) on the surface of Ti3 C2 is presented as a coating layer for the PP separator. The synergetic effects of Ti3 C2 and iCON provide new platforms to suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides, expedite the redox kinetics of sulfur species, and promote efficient conversion of the intercepted polysulfides. The functional separator endows carbon nanotube/sulfur cathodes with excellent electrochemical performance. The average capacity decay per cycle within 2000 cycles at 2 C is as low as 0.006%. The separator is even effective in the case of sulfur content of 90 wt% and sulfur loading of 7.6 mg cm-2 ; the reversible capacity, areal capacity, and volumetric capacity at 0.1 C are as high as 1186 mA h g-1 , 9.01 mA h cm-2 , and 1201 mA h cm-3 , respectively. This work provides a promising approach toward separator modification for the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The lithium–sulfur battery is considered as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems owing to its high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, the shuttle effect in lithium–sulfur battery leads to the problems of low sulfur utilization, poor cyclability, and rate capability, which has attracted the attention of a large number of researchers in the recent years. Among them, the catalysts with efficient catalytic function for lithium polysulfides (LPSs) can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect. This review outlines the progress of catalyst materials for lithium–sulfur battery in recent years. Based on the structure and properties of the reported catalysts, the development of the reported catalyst materials for LPSs was divided into three generations. We can find that the design of highly efficient catalytic materials needs to consider not only strong chemical adsorption on polysulfides, but also good conductivity, catalysis, and mass transfer. Finally, the perspectives and outlook of reasonable design of catalyst materials for high performance lithium–sulfur battery are put forward. Catalytic materials with high conductivity and both lipophilic and thiophile sites will become the next-generation catalytic materials, such as heterosingle atom catalysis and heterometal carbide. The development of these catalytic materials will help catalyze LPSs more efficiently and improve the reaction kinetics, thus providing guarantee for lithium sulfur batteries with high load or rapid charge and discharge, which will promote the practical application of lithium–sulfur battery.

Abstract
Phenols and polyphenols have been used as a scaffold for generating multidimensional molecular architectures via complexation with metal ions. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of metallopolymer films from three catechol derivatives having different alkyl/aryl substituents via complexation with iron and copper ions at the organic-water interface. Such interfacial polymerization is instantaneous, one step to generate functional materials, and gives good control over the organization of repeating units along the film. The films were transferred to different substrates such as filter paper, cotton, or polyester fabrics. The films are superhydrophobic with a contact angle >160° which can be tuned by regulating the orientation of nonpolar groups at the interface during polymerization. In addition, the fabricated cloth membrane showed excellent oil/water separation efficiency of more than 99% even after 50 cycles. The polymers also showed good dye extraction capacity from aqueous solutions with fast kinetics data. Such metallopolymer networks can serve as a versatile material for applications in catalysis, protective coatings, drug delivery, water filtration membranes, and liquid separations.

Abstract
Polysulfide dissolution and shuttling in liquid organic electrolytes are considered as the most challenging detrimental effects of an Li-S cell, which is one of the most promising next-generation high-energy-density batteries. Therefore, considerable efforts have been devoted to confining solid sulfur or sulfide so as to avoid the formation and diffusion of dissolved polysulfides. However, the positive roles played by the liquid polysulfides in Li-S electrochemistry should not be overlooked. Polysulfide dissolution can promote the cell kinetics and sulfur utilization; as electrolyte additives, polysulfides can help stabilize the Li metal anode, redistribute the active mass in the cathode and act as extra back-up active sulfur sources. After being applied directly as active catholytes, a novel Li-polysulfide redox flow battery (Li-PS RFB) and an Li-polysulfide battery (Li-PS battery) have been developed. This review revisited these beneficial effects of polysulfides and provided a summary of the recent progress on Li-PS RFB and Li-PS batteries, especially with a more comprehensive emphasis on the latter. Furthermore, dissolved polysulfides applied as active catholytes in Na-S and K-S systems and as catholytes or anolytes in aqueous batteries were also briefly discussed. Hopefully, the Li-S electrochemistry can be better understood so as to overcome challenging issues in the way of the practical commercialization of the Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Mass production of graphene powders affording high quality and environmental benignancy serves as a prerequisite for the practical usage of graphene in multiple energy storage applications. Herein, we exploit a salt-templated CVD approach to harness the direct synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) nanosheets and related ink dispersions in a scalable, safe, efficient, and green fashion. Thus-fabricated NG accompanying large productivity, excellent electrical conductivity, and favorable solution processability possesses implications in printable energy storage devices. With the NG-based ink in hand, self-standing 3D architectures with programmable patterns can be directly printed over a myriad of substrates. Accordingly, both electrode preparation for flexible supercapacitors and separator modification in Li-S batteries can be enabled via printing by employing our NG-based composite inks. This work thus represents a practical route for mass production of graphene inks with cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness for emerging energy storage technology.

Abstract
Methodology to combine nanotechnology and these organization processes has been proposed as a novel concept of nanoarchitectonics, which can fabricate functional materials with nanolevel units. As an instant nanoarchitectonics approach, confining systems within a two-dimensional plane to drastically reduce translational motion freedom can be regarded as one of the rational approaches. Supramolecular chemistry and nanofabrication and their related functions at the air-water interface with the concept of nanoarchitectonics would lead to the creation of a novel methodology of Langmuir nanoarchitectonics. In this feature article, we briefly summarize research efforts related to Langmuir nanoarchitectonics including the basics for anomalies in molecular interactions such as highly enhanced molecular recognition capabilities. It is also extended to frontiers including the fabrication of supramolecular receptors and two-dimensional patterns with subnanometer-scale structural regulation, manual control of molecular machines and receptors by hand-motion-like macroscopic actions, and the regulation of cell fates at nanoarchitected arrays of nanocarbon assemblies and at direct liquid interfaces.

Abstract
We have developed a novel approach enabling us to follow and facilitate the formation of two-dimensional coordination polymer monolayers directly at the air/water interface without the need of complex instrumentation. The method is based on the use of a surface active ligand that, when spread at the air/water interface, progressively undergoes hydrolysis with consequent gradual decrease in surface pressure. Notably, if the aqueous subphase contains metal ions capable of coordinating the ligand, coordination competes with hydrolysis, resulting in a lower surface pressure decrease. As a consequence, the formation of the coordination polymer monolayer can be verified simply by surface pressure measurements. Competition between hydrolysis and coordination was investigated as a function of the main experimental parameters affecting the two reactions, enabling the formation of stable coordination polymer monolayers with controlled density. Finally, the formation of continuous rigid 2D layers was confirmed by compression isotherms and ex situ morphological characterization. This work will simplify the verification of coordination polymer monolayer formation; thus, it will boost the synthesis of novel and innovative 2D materials.

Abstract
Understanding the reaction kinetics and mechanism of Li-polysulfide batteries is critical in designing advanced host materials for improved performance. However, up to now, the reaction mechanism within the Li-polysulfide batteries is still unclear. Herein, we study the reaction mechanism of a high-performance Li-polysulfide battery by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on a multifunctional host material composed of WS2 nanopetals embedded in rGO-CNT (WS2-rGO-CNT) aerogel. The WS2 nanopetal serves as a "catalytic center" to chemically bond the polysulfides and accelerate the polysulfide redox reactions, and the 3D porous rGO-CNT scaffold provides fast and efficient e-/Li+ transportation. Thus, the resulting WS2-rGO-CNT aerogel accommodating the polysulfide catholyte enables a stable cycling performance, excellent rate capability (614 mAh g-1 at 2 C), and a high areal capacity (6.6 mAh cm-2 at 0.5 C). In situ XRD results reveal that the Li2S starts to form at an early stage of discharge (at a depth of 25% of the lower voltage plateau) during the discharge process, and β-S8 nucleation begins before the upper voltage plateau during the recharge process, which are different from the conventional Li-S battery. Moreover, the WS2 itself could be lithiated/delithiated during the cycling, making the lithiated WS2 (Li xWS2, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) a real host material for Li-polysulfide batteries. DFT calculations suggest that Li xWS2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) exhibits moderate binding/anchoring interactions toward polysulfides with adsorption energies of 0.51-1.4 eV. Our work reveals the reaction mechanism of the Li-polysulfide batteries and indicates that the lithiated host plays an important role in trapping the polysulfides.
