Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), with their high energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries, are now strong candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, insufficient redox kinetics leads to shuttle effect and lithium dendrites, which hinder their commercial application. In this paper, the latest progress of 3d10-based materials such as copper, zinc and their composites as cathode materials for LSBs is discussed, and the kinetics of polysulfide reduction catalyzed by copper-zinc-based materials and the mechanism of restraining shuttle effect are discussed in detail. Several strategies for the rational design of 3d10-based catalysts to improve the polysulfide reduction reaction are summarized. Finally, we summarize the challenges faced by 3d10-based materials in LSBs applications and present an outlook to improve the reference for the design of next-generation LSBs materials.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
