Crown Ether-Engineered Porous Liquid-Based Electrolytes Decouple Redox Kinetics and Stability in Zinc-Sulfur Batteries.

Aqueous zinc-sulfur batteries are promising for a new generation of safe and abundant energy storage devices, yet their realization is hindered by sluggish solid-state sulfur redox kinetics at the cathode and parasitic shuttling of iodine mediators in the electrolyte. Here, we demonstrate a path toward resolving these...
