Nature, Published online: 06 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10505-8 A potential premediator, 2-chloropyrimidine, could be a model material for molecular skeleton design enabling lithium–sulfur batteries to achieve a strong average capacity retention and help design functional molecules in broader organic chemical spaces.
