In this context, we firstly synthesized a novel nitrogen-doped multiporous carbon material from renewable biological cells through a facile chemical activation with K2CO3. After sulfur impregnation, the carbon/sulfur composite achieved a sulfur content of about 67 wt%. The C/S composite as the cathode of lithium–sulfur batteries exhibited a discharge capacity of 1410 mAh/g and good capacity retention of 912 mAh/g at 0.1C. These outstanding results were attributed to the synergy effect of microporous carbon and natural doping nitrogen atoms. We believe that the facile approach for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped multiporous carbon from the low-cost and sustainable biological resources will not only be applied in lithium–sulfur batteries, but also in other electrode materials.
