AB  - Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer theoretical energy density much higher than 
      that of lithium-ion batteries, but their development faces significant 
      challenges. Mesoporous carbon-sulfur composite microspheres are successfully 
      synthesized by combining emulsion polymerization and the evaporation-induced 
      self-assembly (EISA) process. Such materials not only exhibit high 
      sulfur-specific capacity and excellent retention as Li-S cathodes but also afford 
      much improved tap density, sulfur content, and areal capacity necessary for 
      practical development of high-energy-density Li-S batteries. In addition, when 
      incorporated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to form mesoporous carbon-CNT-sulfur 
      composite microspheres, the material demonstrated superb battery performance even 
      at a high current density of 2.8 mA/cm(2), with a reversible capacity over 700 
      mAh/g after 200 cycles.
