The Cover Feature shows the synthesis and thorough characterization of hydrothermally prepared MoS 2 nanosheets that vary in layer number, morphology, lateral size, and defect content. The materials were incorporated into composite sulfur‐based cathodes and studied in Li–S batteries with environmentally benign ether‐based electrolytes. Through directed synthesis of the MoS 2 additive, the relationship between synthetically induced defects in 2 D MoS 2 materials and resultant electrochemistry was elucidated. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Abraham et al. on page 1517 in Issue 6, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201903028).
