The presolvated LiS cathodes can be matched with lithium metal-free electrodes to overcome the safety problems of lithium-sulfur batteries, which can contribute to promising devices for next-generation energy storage fields and enhance the performance of batteries by tailoring the solid-liquid reaction interface. Most importantly, this facile loading method of liquid LiS can provide a new opportunity to construct a commercially viable assembly for industrial batteries. However, few reviews have concentrated on the challenges and opportunities of preliquid LiS-based batteries. Hence, we provide an overview of recent results on preliquid LiS cathodes for high-performance batteries. First, the synthetic methods of liquid LiS are summarized with their features. This is then followed by an up-to-date account of different functional materials to reduce the overpotential of preliquid LiS and improve the electrochemical properties by engineering the structure, tailoring the interface, modifying catalytic sites, and adding functional materials. Finally, a short outlook is proposed about the potential future developments and commercialization processes in preliquid LiS-based batteries.
