title: Li-S battery analyzed by UV/Vis in operando mode.
abstract: Battery watch: 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.
