Sulfur is a promising material for electrochemical energy storage but is hampered by its low conductivity and dissolution during battery charging/discharging. In article number 2101326, Aristides Bakandritsos, Radek Zboril, Michal Otyepka, and co‐workers, by exploiting the chemistry of fluorographene and the reactivity of sodium polysulfides, achieve a covalently and highly sulfurized graphene, demonstrating the potential to tackle the limitations of sulfur and develop a low‐cost yet high performance lithium–sulfur battery cathode.
