A bis(aryl) tetrasulfide consists of a linear chain of four sulfur atoms that could accept up to 6 Li in reduction reactions, thus providing a promising high‐capacity cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Here, three bis(aryl) tetrasulfides with different functional groups have been investigated and the effects of the functional group X (OCH 3 , H, or CF 3 ) on the properties and electrochemical characteristics of aryl tetrasulfides are summarized.
