Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201303166-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Monoclinic S₈, an uncommon allotrope of sulfur at room temperature</bold>, can be formed when common orthorhombic S₈ is heat‐treated under enclosed environments in nanometer dimensions. Monoclinic S₈ prevents the formation of soluble polysulfides during battery operation, resulting in unprecedented cycling performance over 1000 cycles under the highest sulfur content to date. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3z7f0pn6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
