Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Sulfur Cathode during Discharge in MgTFSI2 -DME Electrolyte.

TL;DR: The results here reveal that sulfur undergoes a consecutive staging pathway in which the formation and chain-shortening of polysulfide occur at early stage accompanied by the dissolution of long-chainpolysulfides, and solid-state transition from short-chain polys sulfuride to magnesium sulfide occurs at late stage.
