Abstract: UV/Vis spectrophotometry is demonstrated as a powerful analytical method for the in situ study of polysulfides. Through the interactions that occur between different chain-length polysulfide molecules and the UV/Vis radiation, quantitative and qualitative determination of the polysulfides formed during Li–S battery operation can be achieved. The method can detect small differences between chemical environments such as the structure of the cathode composite, the electrolyte composition and the effects of any additives. This will help to determine the influence of the various components on the operational mechanism in Li–S batteries.
