“…These properties of the carbon nanofiber-sulfur based cathodes form ideal inter wound reservoir-like matrices that accommodate active sulfur [123,153,[224][225][226][227][228][229][230][231][232][233][234][235][236][237][238][239][240], while the porous structure ideally confine/trap the active sulfur and its soluble polysulfides, which can greatly reduce the shuttle effect. In addition, the carbon nanofibers improve the mechanical/ structural integrity of the composite electrode as well as the conductivity, [232,233,238] that further enhances electrons/ Li + transfer and improves sulfur utilization in Li-S batteries [123,153,[224][225][226][227][228][229][230][231][232][233][234][235][236][237][238][239][240] and by extension, improves the batteries electrochemical performance. The challenge however, on the use of these carbon nanofiber-sulfur-based cathodes in Li-S batteries is the inconsistency of the fiber surface area, particularly those produced by electrospinning [225,226,…”
