Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries as a promising next-generation energy storage device have received increasing attention recently. However, it is still challenging to achieve high sulfur loading and high areal capacity in the cathodes. Herein, we design a composite of carbon-wrapped Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles grown in a carbonized melamine sponge (Fe/Fe3C@N-CNT) as a free-standing conductive framework and host scaffold for sulfur loading. High sulfur content up to 86.9 wt% and overall mass loading as high as similar to 14.44 mg cm(-2) are achieved in the resultant Fe/Fe3C@N-CNT/S composite. A high discharge capacity of 1359 mA h g(-1) is delivered for this Fe/Fe3C@N-CNT/S composite at 0.1C, and 561 mA h g(-1) is retained after 150 cycles. The high electrochemical performance of this Fe/Fe3C@N-CNT/S composite is attributed to the synergistic effect of Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles, carbon coating, and N-doped carbon nanotubes in the Fe/Fe3C@N-CNT cathode.
