Multifunctional nanoparticle coatings created in a new Langmuir‐Blodgett‐like process are used to design high‐performance membranes for regulating transport of ions and molecules. In article 1600450, the effectiveness of such membranes in Lithium‐sulfur batteries is demonstrated by Lynden A. Archer and co‐workers, where coatings based on metal oxide and carbon particles are shown to capture and reutilize lithium polysulfides, an intermediate discharge product.
