Abstract Due to the low conductivity of sulfur and the dissolution of polysulfides, the research and application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have encountered certain resistance. Increasing conductivity and introducing polarity into the sulfur host can effectively overcome these long-standing problems. Herein, We first prepared Co3W3C@ C@ CNTs / S material and used it in the cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries, The existence of carboxylated CNTs can form a conductive network, accelerate the transmission of electrons and improve the rate performance, and polar Co3W3C can form a strong interaction with polysulfide intermediates, effectively inhibiting its shuttle effect, improving the utilization of sulfur cathode electrodes, and improving the capacity and cycle stability. The Co3W3C@C@CNTs / S electrode material has a capacity of 1,093 mA h g-1 at a 0.1 A g− 1 and 482 mA h g-1 at 5 A g− 1. Even after 500 cycles of 2 A g− 1, the capacity of each cycle is only reduced by 0.08%. The excellent stability of this material can provide a new idea for the future development of lithium-sulfur batteries.

The practical application of lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) has been impeded by several chronic problems related to the insulating nature of sulfur and lithium sulfide, in addition to the dissolution and diffusion of lithium polysulfides. In view of these problems, a large variety of carbonaceous materials have been employed to enhance the electronic conductivity of the cathode and/or sequester lithium polysulfides within conductive matrixes. Although they may exhibit impressive electrochemical performance, the fabrication of most carbon materials involves costly precursors and complicated procedures. Waste paper—the main constituent of municipal waste—is composed of carbohydrates, and can be an ideal precursor for carbon materials. Herein, carbon microfiber meshes (CMFMs) obtained by the pyrolysis of common filter paper in argon (A-CMFM) or ammonia (N-CMFM) were used to form sulfur cathodes. Compared with LSBs based on A-CMFM, those based on N-CMFM demonstrated higher specific capacity and better rate capability, with a capacity of 650 mA h g−1 at 0.2 C and 550 mA h g−1 at 0.5 C. This was owing to the strong immobilization of lithium polysulfides resulting from the heteroatom doping and hydrophilicity of N-CMFM. The results indicate that cellulose paper-derived carbon is a promising candidate for application in high-performance LSBs.
