How to exert the energy density advantage is a key link in the development of lithium-sulfur batteries. Therefore, the performance degradation of high-sulfur-loading cathodes becomes an urgent problem to be solved at present. In addition, the volumetric capacities of high-sulfur-loading cathodes are still at a low level compared with their areal capacities. Aiming at these issues, two-dimensional carbon yolk-shell nanosheet is developed herein to construct a novel self-supporting sulfur cathode. The cathode with high-sulfur loading of 5mg cm(-2) and sulfur content of 73 wt% not only delivers an excellent rate performance and cycling stability, but also provides a favorable balance between the areal (5.7 mAh cm(-2)) and volumetric (1330 mAh cm(-3)) capacities. Remarkably, an areal capacity of 11.4 mAh cm(-2) can be further achieved by increasing the sulfur loading from 5 to 10mg cm(-2). This work provides a promising direction for high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries.
