N-doped porous carbon nanofibers embedded with TiN nanoparticles for high-performance Li–S batteries

Flexible N-doped porous carbon nanofibers embedded with TiN nanoparticles are prepared for cathode materials of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. A synergistic adsorption effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) can be provided by the well-dispersed TiN nanoparticles, the heteroatomic doping, and the p...
