The electrolyte in Li‐S batteries has a chronic condition of “obesity,” and such batteries will not turn energetic unless the electrolyte gets lean. Nevertheless, the parsimonious use of electrolytes often fails to wet the cathode with a carbon surface. In article number 10.1002/cey2.10 , Woochul Shin, Jun Lu and Xiulei Ji report that nano‐decorations of ZnS conjugate the electrolyte with the carbon‐surface of the sulfur cathode, thus creating a symbiotic interface for the high‐performing sulfur cathode.
