N-doped carbon sheets arrays embedded with CoP nanoparticles as high-performance cathode for Li-S batteries via triple synergistic effects

Cycle stability and rate performance are the key factors for the commercial applications of Li-sulfur batteries. Herein, N-doped carbon sheets with cobalt compounds nanoparticles anchored on carbon cloth (CoP/NC or Co9S8/NC) are synthesized to act as sulfur host in Li-S batteries. The porous 2D N-do...
