All-solid-state Li-S batteries (ASSLSBs) due to high theoretical energy density and exceptional safety are highly desirable for electric aircraft. However, as the flight altitude rises, the low-temperature performance is hampered by inadequate practical capacity. Here, we discover that low-temperature sulfur utilization is constrained by the multi-step endothermic conversion reaction. By introducing multi-chalcogen to modulate the local entropy, a short-chain molecule cathode is designed to shorten the reduction pathways and enhance low-temperature discharge capacity. Furthermore, the mismatched lithiation lattice of the short-chain cathode reduces the decomposition energy barriers, thus enhancing low-temperature charge/discharge reversibility. The designed short-chain cathode exhibits high cathode utilization (99.4 %) and cycling stability (400 cycles, 92.2 % retention) at room temperature, as well as delivers excellent discharge capacity (579.6 mAh g, -40 °C) and cycling performance (100 cycles, 98.4 % retention, 394.9 Wh kg1electrode, -20 °C) at low temperature. This study presents new opportunities to stimulate the development of low-temperature ASSLSBs.

Na-S and K-S batteries, with high-energy density, using naturally more abundant and affordable metals compared with rare resources like Li, Co, and Ni elements, have inspired intense research interest. However, the sulfur cathodes for Na/K storage are plagued by soluble polysulfide shuttling, larger volumetric deformation, and sluggish redox kinetics. Here, we report that a conductive organosulfur polymer microcage, fabricated facilely with the microbe and elemental sulfur as precursors, can effectively address these issues for stable high-capacity Na-S and K-S batteries.

Autotrophic microbial electrosynthesis (MES) processes are mainly based on organisms that rely on carbon dioxide (CO) as an electron acceptor and typically have low biomass yields. However, there are few data on the process and efficiencies of oxic MES (OMES). In this study, we used the knallgas bacterium Kyrpidia spormannii to investigate biomass formation and energy efficiency of cathode-dependent growth.

The substitution of Bisphenol A (BPA) with Bisphenol B (BPB) has raised concerns due to BPB's increased environmental presence and its potential hazards. Despite the frequent detection in water environments, effective removal methods for BPB are still limited. This study hypothesizes that electrochemical oxidation (EO) can effectively degrade BPB and its by-products.

The development of room-temperature (RT) sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries is severely hindered due to the slow kinetics of the S cathode and the instability of the Na-metal anode. To overcome this, we introduced a dual-functional electrolyte cosolvent, trifluoromethanesulfonamide (TFMSA). Short-chain NaS (1 ≤ ≤ 2) can be effectively dissolved due to the strong H-S bond interaction between TFMSA and sulfides, which changes the S conversion process, thereby effectively enhancing the conversion kinetics of the cathode.
