Lithium–chalcogen batteries are an appealing choice for high‐energy‐storage technology. However, the traditional battery that employs liquid electrolytes suffers irreversible loss and shuttle of the soluble intermediates. New batteries that adopt Li+‐conductive polymer electrolytes to mitigate the s...
