In article number 1501636, Linda Nazar and co‐workers demonstrate the nature of the interaction between metal oxides and polysulfides, with an aim to explore materials with the ability to chemically entrap polysulfides. The insight gained into the fundamental surface mechanism, and its correlation to the stability of the electrochemical cell, provides a bridge between mechanistic understanding and battery performance, which is essential for the design of high performance Li‐S cells.
