Recently, investigations into Li\u2010S catalysts predominantly center around the optimization of energy levels to bolster adsorption and catalytic conversion processes. However, a significant oversight persists, as the profound influence of electron spin states on charge transfer dynamics and orbital interactions is frequently neglected. Herein, NH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    MnF\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    is synthesized as a sulfur host due to the strongly polarized Mn\u2010F bonds, which generate\u00a0a stronger ligand field and endow it with remarkable electrochemical activity. By capitalizing on the electric field\u2010induced effect exerted by adjacent Co atoms, the crystal structure of NH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    MnF\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    is optimized, successfully inducing spin\u2010orbit splitting at the Mn centers. This achievement significantly enhances the overlap with the p\n                    <jats:sub>z<\/jats:sub>\n                    orbitals of polysulfides, effectively expediting the kinetic processes of sulfur redox reactions within LSBs. Notably, the Co\u2010NH\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    MnF\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performance. Specifically, at a high rate of 2\u00a0C, it retains a remarkable specific capacity of 686\u00a0mAh\u00a0g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    even after 1000 cycles.
