Box 644, Bilbao, Spain Key laboratory of Material Chemistry for Energy Conversion and Storage (Ministry of Education), School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1037 Luoyu Road, Wuhan , China *H.Z.: *C.L.: 1

2 Experimental Preparation of polymer membrane and S cathode The polymer electrolyte membranes based on PEO (viscosity average molecular weight (M v ) = g mol 1, Sigma-Aldrich) and lithium salt (either LiFSI (battery grade, Suzhou Fluolyte, China) or LiTFSI (battery grade, Solvionic, France)) were prepared by conventional solvent casting method followed by hot-pressing. The detailed procedures could be found in previous work. 1 Three types of cathode laminates were made with 30, 40 and 50 wt % of sulphur, respectively. Composite sulfur cathode was prepared with elemental sulfur (99.5 wt %, Sigma-Aldrich), conductive carbon (Ketjen Black, KJ600, Akzo-Nobel), LiX/PEO electrolyte (X = FSI, TFSI) as remainder. The amount of conductive carbon was 15 wt % for all the prepared S cathodes. Ionic condcutivity The electrolyte ionic conductivity was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy using a VMP3 potentiostat (Biologic). The frequency ranged from 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz with a signal amplitude of 10 mv. A CR2032 type coin cell using two stainless steel (SS) blocking electrodes (SS SPEs SS) was assembled in an Ar filled glovebox and used for the measurement. The temperature was controlled by a Buchi Glass Oven B-585. Lithium-ion transference number The lithium-ion transference number (T + Li ) of the polymer electrolyte at 70 o C was measured by a combination measurement of ac impedance and dc polarization using a symmetric Li polymer electrolytes Li cell, as described by Watanabe and Bruce. 2,3 The surface of lithium metal was shaved with a spatula and was rolled before use. The cell was assembled in a glove box (H 2 O and O 2 < 0.1 ppm). The temperature of the cell was controlled by using a Buchi Glass Oven B-585. The cell was firstly heated to 70 o C during 4 h for obtaining a good contact. Then, the cell at 2

3 70 o C was subjected to a dc voltage ( V, 10 mv in this study) until a steady current was obtained (usually 2 3 hours in this study). The initial (I 0 ) and steady (I s ) currents (μa), which flown through the cell, were measured. The impedance spectra of the cell were recorded in the frequency range from 10 2 to 10 6 Hz with an oscillation voltage of 5 mv, before and after the dc polarization, to obtain the initial (R 0 b ) and final (R s b ) resistances (Ω) of the electrolyte, and the initial (R 0 1 ) and final (R s 1 ) resistances (Ω) of interfacial layers of the Li metal electrode/electrolyte. Based on these values for the parameters above, the lithium-ion transference number (T + Li ) was then calculated by Equation S1: Equation S1 Cyclic voltammetry measurement Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement of Li SPEs Al CR2032 coin cells was performed on a VMP3 potentiostat (Biologic) for investigating the electrochemical behaviour of Al electrode in the polymer electrolyte. Al electrode was used as working electrode, and Li metal was served as counter and reference electrodes. The CV voltammograms were measured between open circuit potential (OCP) to 5.0 V (vs. Li/Li + ) at a scan rate of 5 mv s 1 at 70 C. Cycling of Li-S polymer cell and post-mortem analysis Li-S polymer cells were assembled in an Ar filled glovebox using the prepared electrode as cathode, polymer electrolyte membrane as both electrolyte and separator, and Li metal (Sigma-Aldrich) as anode. The cycling performances of the cells were characterized galvanostatically at a constant current (CC) mode between 1.6 and 2.8 V at 70 C using a Maccor Battery Tester (Series 4000). Surface morphorlogies, cross-section images and elements mapping of the cycled Li-S polymer cells were studied by a field emission Quanta 200 FEG (FEI). 3

4 The sample was transferred without exposure to air by using a vacuum transfer holder. Table S1.
