Although lithium batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage devices, they cannot meet the growing demand for new electronic devices. Thus, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries containing sulfur polymer cathode materials with tunable sulfur chain length and organic groups are of critical importance to

This work may lead to much more sensitive data collection when sequencing DNA or detecting small concentrations of pathogens. Miniaturiz...
