    Abstract
    We report the performance of a series of hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) with extremely high surface areas of up to 2340 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup> with total pore volume of up to 3.8 cm<sup>3</sup> g<sup>-1</sup> as supports for sulfur for Li-S batteries. The hierarchical structure of the carbon originating from interconnected large mesopores (10-50 nm), small mesopores (2-10 nm) and micropores (<2 nm) makes the total available surface area highly accessible, resulting in excellent electrode kinetics. At high C-rates of 2 C and 5 C, large specific capacities of 647 mA h g<sup>-1</sup> and 503 mA h g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, were obtained after 200 cycles. In addition, we also systematically show that the cyclic stability is independent of the size of the pores sulfur is initially confined in, when LiNO<inf>3</inf> is used as the electrolyte additive, indicating that capacity fade due to polysulfide shuttle is effectively eliminated and that it is not related to pore size anymore.
