Single-sulfur atom discrimination of polysulfides with a protein | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This paper explores the use of biological membranes with a nanopore sensor for detecting polysulfides in sulfur-based batteries. By studying the interaction between polysulfides and cyclodextrins, using NMR, molecular docking, and nanopore sensing, the researchers demonstrate single-molecule discrimination of polysulfide/cyclodextrin complexes differing by a single sulfur atom. This offers a new approach for electrolyte sensing and designing membranes with selective speciation of molecules to enhance battery lifetime.
