Moreover, minimizing the loss of sulfur content during the light-induced heating process is a critical aspect that demands thorough attention. Hence, during the optimization process of our approach, both factors were methodically taken into account to ensure the desired outcomes. Through rigorous testing, a comprehensive set of parameters, encompassing lasing power, rastering speed, and laser beam defocusing, were identified as key factors in achieving optimal conditions for the transformation of the precursors blend into a sulfur-graphenic matrix, while substantially preserving the original sulfur content within the final solid matrix. These parameters can be consolidated into a single metric known as laser fluence (H, J/cm 2 ). The results of these experiments, depicted in Figure , demonstrate the cross-sectional view of the synthesized cathodes at various selected parameters, as observed through high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). This analysis offers valuable insights into the transformation process itself, mainly through the achieved porosity and sulfur loading concentration post-processing. The impact of laser fluence on the pore structure complexity becomes evident as it gradually increases. The lowest fluence (Figure ) results in a poor pore structure, while significant improvements are observed at the highest fluence values depicted (Figure ). These improvements encompass both pore size and overall porosity, indicating a positive correlation between laser fluence and the development of a more intricate pore structure. An additional factor that can be observed with the increased fluence is the depth of the carbon precursor's layer transformation into a conductive graphenic network, which is imperative to ensure optimal electrical contact with the current collector.
