Abstract

Abstract : Regulating the redox reactions is critical for rechargeable batteries based on conversion chemistries. In article number 1900344, Jia‐Qi Huang and co‐workers introduce cobaltocene as a persistent extrinsic redox mediator to dictate an alternative redox pathway, which not only benefits high‐rate or electrolyte‐lean lithium–sulfur batteries but also paves a way toward the rational design of novel redox mediators in dissolution‐precipitation energy chemistries.
