Zinc–iodine (Zn–I2) batteries hold great promise for high-performance, low-cost electrochemical energy storage, but their practical application faces thorny challenges associated with polyiodide shuttling and insufficient cycling stability. Herein, we propose molecular catalysis for long-life Zn–I2...
