As one of the best candidates, lithium sulfur battery (Li-S) is extensively explored due to the high theoretical capacity and abundant sources of sulfur. Carbon-based materials take an important role as a host for sulfur in the cathode. In this paper, a nitrogen-doped hollow carbon for sulfur cathode (NHC-S) with high sulfur loading of 92% is studied for Li-S batteries. The structural characterization demonstrates that the N-doping can improve the graphitization of the hollow carbon material, which increases the electrical conductivity. The catalytic and deposition nucleation tests indicate that the N doping can increase the nucleation rate of Li2S, which is also illustrated by the larger binding energies of Li2S on N-doping substrates than on carbon via density functional theory (DFT) analysis. The initial specific capacity of NHC-S is 864.8 mAh g~(-1) at the current density of 0.2 C, and 460.8 mAh g~(-1) after 500 cycles. When the sulfur content loading was up to 2.8 mg cm~(-2), the electrode material could achieve 85% capacity retention after 100 reversible cycles.
