Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Sulfur‐rich</bold> lithium polysulfidophosphates (LPSPs) act as an enabler for long‐lasting and efficient lithium–sulfur batteries. LPSPs have ionic conductivities of 3.0×10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹ at 25 °C, which is 8 orders of magnitude higher than that of Li₂S. The high lithium ion conductivity imparts excellent cycling performance, and the batteries are configured in an all‐solid state, which promises safe cycling with metallic lithium anodes.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg270vtsf6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
