In order to solve the problems such as poor electrical conductivity of sulfur, the large volume expansion and the shuttle effect of intermediate polysulfides during the cycling process, the S/PCNT composites were prepared by introducing sulfur into porous carbon nanotubes (PCNTs), the electrochemical performance of S/PCNT was investigat-ed. Compared with S/CNT, the electrochemical performance of S/PCNT has been significantly improved. This can be attributed to the embedded structure of S/PCNT, which has provided buffer space for the volume expansion during the charge and discharge process, avoided the direct contact between sulfur and electrolytes, restricted the dissolution of polysulfides, and alleviated the shuttle effect of polysulfides. Therefore, S/PCNT has better cycling stability.
