The commercialization process of Li-S battery is seriously impeded by the poor performance of sulfur cathode, including the low conductivity and dissatisfactory activity for facilitating the polysulfide conversion. In this work, we developed a scale-up method to synthesize an efficient cathode material (Co-N-C@KB) with abundant Co-N-C active sites on the Ketjen Black (KB), through a ligand-mediated-synthesis and a low-temperature-pyrolysis strategy. The uniformly distributed Co-N-C active sites were proved to be favorable for the conversion of polysulfide at the cathode, hence improving the capacity and cyclic life of Li-S battery. As a result, the Co-N-C@KB cathode for the Li-S battery could deliver an initial discharge specific capacity as high as 1 442 mAh·g^-1, and have the excellent capability for capacity retention during the long-term stability test.
