Lithium-ion batteries, essential for electronics and electric vehicles, predominantly use cathodes made from critical materials like cobalt. Sulfur-based cathodes, offering a high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g-1 and environmental advantages due to sulfur's abundance and lower toxicity, present a more sustainable alternative. However, state-of-the-art sulfur-based electrodes do not reach the theoretical capacities, mainly because conventional electrode production relies on mixing of components into weakly coordinated slurries...
