Stabilizing lithium anodes has been a crucial yet challenging task in developing high-energy batteries. Here the authors design two simple steps of spontaneous reactions to achieve a porous lithium electrode with a composite protective layer, enabling high-loading Li-S batteries with excellent cyclability.
