Lithium-sulfur　battery　has　long　been　considered　as　the　best　choice　for　the　next　generation　secondary　battery.　However,　the　intrinsic　insulativity　of　sulfur　and　the　polysulfide　shuttle　effect　have　been　the　key　problems　that　hinder　the　commercialization　of　lithium　sulfur　batteries.　Here,　using　a　facile　shearing　implement　assists　thermal　synthesis　process,　in　which　liquid　metal　gallium　and　sulfur　(mass　ratio1:10)　are　the　only　reactants,　we　create　a　3D　porous　sulfur/gallium　hybrid　materials　(S/Ga).　Micro/nanometer　liquid　metal　gallium　particles　embed　in　the　porous　sulfur.　The　S/Ga　cathode　lithium　cell　exhibits　a　high　Coulombic　efficiencies　of　98.7%,　and　high　specific　capacities　of　1044　mAh　g(-1)　after　100　cycles　at　1.0　mA　cm(-2),　and　good　cyclic　stability.　During　first　cycle　discharge　process　of　the　S/Ga　cathode,　the　sulfur　reduces　to　Li2S8　and　dissolves　in　the　electrolyte,　then　the　liquid　metal　Ga　has　an　intimate　electrical　contact　with　conductive　carbon　substrates.　Electrons　are　easily　transferred　to　high　conductive　liquid　metal　Ga.　Due　to　the　electron　abundance　on　Ga　surface,　it　shows　an　electrocatalytic　effect　for　the　conversion　of　soluble　lithium　polysulfides　(Li2S4-8)　to　Li2S2/Li2S,　thus　improving　S　utilization　and　cyclic　stability.　(C)　2020　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
