Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries hold great promise to serve as next‐generation energy storage devices. However, the practical performances of Li–S batteries are severely limited by the sulfur cathode regarding its low conductivity, huge volume change, and the polysulfide shuttle effect. The first tw...
