In this work, we synthesize a partially lithiated sulfur material (S@Li\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    S) by mechanical mixing sulfur with lithium sulfide (Li\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    S). To our surprise, characterization techniques including Raman spectroscopy, solid\u2010state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR), and sulfur K\u2010edge X\u2010ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) reveal the formation of lithium polysulfide (Li\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    S\n                    <jats:sub>n<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) species that can be stabilized at room temperature, previously thought to be unlikely in the solid\u2010state. With enhanced reactivity, these lithium polysulfide cathode materials show much faster kinetics than S or Li\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    S and are always present throughout the charge and discharge processes. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations indicate that different polysulfide species have similar densities. This explains the observed minimal volume change of S@Li\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    S during cycling. Consequently, this cathode delivers a high specific capacity of 780 mAh g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    , more than double that of sulfur (315 mAh g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), with an 85% capacity retention after 500 cycles. These mechanistic insights and cycling performance advancement contribute to the development of the high\u2010performance, next\u2010generation Li\u2010S ASSBs.\n
