Sulfiphilic surfaces : The design of novel host materials for sulfur cathodes in lithium–sulfur batteries has been achieved through modification of the surface chemistry, by employing sulfiphilic surfaces with high electrical conductivity to develop stable, high‐energy batteries. Compared to the physical‐confinement technique (see picture), systems prepared by this method exhibited remarkable enhancements of both capacity and cycling stability.
