Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature illustrates a 3 D sulfiphilic, porous, and conductive sulfur host for high performance Li–S batteries. The polar CoO/Co composite can improve the polysulfide affinity of the host, the porous structure can offer abundant reaction sites for the sulfur species, and the 3 D conductive network shortens the transfer path of electron during the electrochemical reaction. With the synergistic effect of the combined advantages, the designed sulfur host with vapor‐deposited sulfur displays favorable cycling and rate performances and has great potential in the practical application of high performance Li–S batteries.
