3D Interconnected Electrode Materials with Ultrahigh Areal Sulfur Loading for Li–S Batteries

Sulfur electrodes based on a 3D integrated hollow carbon fiber foam (HCFF) are synthesized with high sulfur loadings of 6.2-21.2 mg cm(-2) . Benefiting from the high electrolyte absorbability of the HCFF and the multiple conductive channels, the obtained electrode demonstrates excellent cycling stability and a high areal capacity of 23.32 mAh cm(-2) , showing great promise in commercially viable Li-S batteries.
