A supramolecular capsule that is similar to an octopus in the ocean makes possible reversible polysulfide storage and delivery in a working battery. In their Communication on page 16223 ff., Q. Zhang et al. report the introduction of cucurbit[6]uril capsules that confer high stability and high efficiency to lithium–sulfur batteries and enable high sulfur loading.
