Abstract

Nitrogen-doped conducting (NC) interlayers, derived from waste newspapers, are inserted between a sulfur cathode and a separator to enhance the electrochemical performances of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. A simple strategy transforms wastes into valuable polysulfide trappers that improve the active-material utilization to 77% and accomplish good cycling stability in Li–S batteries.
