  - “Quasi-solid-state” conversion mechanisms using sparingly solvating electrolytes
    (SPSEs) bridge the gap between traditional solid–liquid–solid and solid-state
    sulfur conversion in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Although these terms are
    commonly used, their precise distinctions and impacts on key performance metrics,
    such as rate capability, energy density, and capacity fading, remain poorly understood.
    In this work, we employ operando small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering alongside
    cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) to compare Li–S batteries
    in sparingly solvating and solvating ether-based electrolytes. We find that, unlike
    solvating electrolytes, SPSEs lead to an extended presence of lithium sulfide
    during cycling, coexisting with sulfur at a 50% state of charge and beyond. In
    the charged state, solid sulfur is present in its amorphous form inside the carbon
    black nanopores. These findings indicate that the limited solubility confines
    polysulfides in regions near the carbon surface, where these polysulfides enable
    conversion between the coexisting solid discharge and charge product.@eng
