All‐solid‐state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) are promising high‐energy storage systems, yet their performance is severely limited by sluggish cathode kinetics due to the insulating nature of sulfur species and inefficient charge transport within the composite cathode. Herein, a functional‐differentiation strategy via a pre‐embedded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) framework is proposed to enhance the charge transport in sulfide‐based ASSLSB cathodes. The design employs Li 6 PS 5 Cl (LPSC) as an ionic conductor, Ketjen black (KB) for sulfur hosting and short‐range electron transfer, and pre‐embedded CNTs as a long‐range electronic conducting skeleton. Compared with conventional loading‐type and bridging‐type configurations, the framework‐type CNTs‐based cathode exhibits significantly improved charge transport and electrochemical performance. It delivers a discharge capacity of 1438 mAh g −1 at 1 C (2.5 mA cm −2 ), with 91.9% capacity retention after 400 cycles, and maintains 404 mAh g −1 under a high sulfur loading of 9 mg cm −2 . Electrochemical analyses, local electrical mapping, and theoretical simulations reveal that the enhanced kinetics stem from a more homogeneous electronic network, which suppresses charge accumulation and facilitates Li + transport. This work highlights that spatial reconstruction and functional differentiation of carbon components can effectively mitigate kinetic barriers in high‐energy‐density ASSLSBs.
