Hierarchical multi-channels conductive framework constructed with rGO modified natural biochar for high sulfur areal loading self-supporting cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries

The insulation of sulfur and Li2S/Li2S2 (discharge products) and the “shuttle” of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) seriously limit the research of high specific capacity lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with high sulfur loading. Inspired by the natural architecture of pomelo peels, we report a se...
