The design and assembly of nanostructured materials are devoted to improving the electrochemical properties of the Li-S batteries (LSBs) by synergistic effect. In this work, a composite of hexagonal Co_1-xS nanosheets decorating N-doped carbon nanotube (Co_1-xS-CNT) was successfully synthesized and used as a sulfur host for Li-S batteries (LSBs). In Co_1-xS-CNT/S, the polar hexagonal Co_1-xS nanosheets can absorb the lithium polysulfide through chemisorption, at the same time, the CNT can provide a highly conductive network. Based on the synergy of physical encapsulating and chemical trapping, the Co_1-xS-CNT/S cathode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, especially the superior cycle performance. After 170 cycles, the Co_1-xS-CNT/S can maintain a discharge capacity of 405.6 mAh·g^-1 at 0.5C, with a stable Coulombic efficiency (over 99.2%).
