In article number 2000651, Zhong‐Shuai Wu, Jian Liu and co‐workers develop Fe 1− x S‐decorated mesoporous carbon spheres as a nanoreactor, which can be applied as a lithium–sulfur battery cathode. The nanoreactor shows excellent polysulfide catalytic activity and cyclic stability. This nanoreactor design strategy not only provides a new protocol for building high‐capacity and long‐cycle rechargeable batteries, but also opens an avenue for design of safer and high‐energy‐density lithium‐metal batteries.
