Highlights Compared with the traditional single-atom catalysts (SACs), the Mg SACs with axial displacement is accurately fabricated on the functional carbon nanotubes. The electronic spin polarization modulates the spin density of MgPc, facilitating the LiPSs conversion kinetics in Li-S batteries. T...
