Abstract To surpass the energy density limit of current Li–S batteries, attaining a long lifespan under lean‐electrolyte conditions is imperative. The persistent challenge involves suppressing electrolyte decomposition while facilitating sulfur electrode reaction. In this study, solvating power 1dimethoxy ethane fine‐tuned, main solvent, using fluorinated ether cosolvents via H–F interactions. As fluorination degree cosolvent increases, coordination anions around Li‐ion and solubilities Li polysulfides decrease. By systematically varying power, moderately electrolytes are prepared that can effectively suppress dissolution without hindering redox kinetics. induce uniform deposition reduce owing to formation anion‐derived solid interphase. An assembled pouch‐type battery containing an with optimized solvation delivers 405 Wh kg −1 at E/S ratio 2.0 µL mg s over 80 cycles. This study suggests strategy finely tune + structure for achieving well‐balanced performances cathodes Li‐metal anodes conditions.
