Herein, a facile low-temperature pyrolysis strategy is developed to synthesize N-doped Co nanocluster inlaid porous N-doped carbon derived from ZIF-67 as catalytic cathodes for K-S batteries. To maximize the utilization efficiency, the size of Co nanoparticles can be tuned from 7 nm to homogeneously distributed 3 nm clusters to create more active sites to regulate affinity for S/polysulfides, improving the conversion reaction kinetics between captured polysulfides and K2S3/S, fundamentally suppressing the shuttle effect. Cyclic voltammetry curves, Tafel plots, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations ascertain that 3 nm Co clusters in S-N-Cos-C cathodes exhibit superior catalytic activity to ensure low charge transfer resistance and energy barriers, enhanced exchange current density, and improved conversion reaction rate. The constructed S-N-Cos-C cathode delivers a superior reversible capacity of 453 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 after 50 cycles, a dramatic rate capacity of 415 mAh g-1 at 400 mA g-1, and a long cycling stability. This work provides an avenue to make full use of high catalytic Co nanoclusters derived from metal-organic frameworks.Molten alkali metal borates have been proposed as energy-efficient sorbents for the low-cost capture of CO2 at high temperatures. The molten sorbents could help to mitigate global warming by capturing CO2 from industrial sources and preventing the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. However, these novel materials operate under harsh conditions, introducing challenges of which material compatibility is one of the most important. Other than platinum, where a less than 0.1% change in performance was observed over 1000 h of
