a Viscosity and ionic conductivity of the 1.6 M Li2S4 (corresponding to E/S = 5 μL mg−1)–containing control and Ca electrolytes. The data are presented as mean values from the measurements for each cathode. Error bars denote the standard deviation from the measurements for each cathode. b Evolution of ohmic resistance during 0.1 C discharging. c The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique discharge profile and cell polarization during 0.1 C discharge for the Li–S cells with the control and Ca electrolytes. The empty triangle symbols correspond to the equilibrium potentials. d Self-discharge behavior of the charged Li–S cells with the control and Ca electrolytes under OCV conditions after 15 cycles. e Shuttle current measurement of Li–S cells with the control and Ca electrolytes.
