Room-temperature sodium–sulfur (RT Na–S) batteries offer a superior, high-energy-density solution for rechargeable batteries using earth-abundant materials. However, conventional RT Na–S batteries typically use sulfur as the cathode, which suffers from severe volume expansion and requires pairing with a sodium metal anode, raising significant safety concerns. Utilizing Na₂S as the cathode material addresses these issues, yet challenges such as Na₂S’s low conductivity as well as the shuttle effect of polysulfide still hinder RT Na–S battery development. Herein, we present a simple and cost-effective method to fabricate a Na₂S–Na₆CoS₄/Co@C cathode, wherein Na₂S nanoparticles are embedded in a conductive carbon matrix and coupled with dual catalysts, Na₆CoS₄ and Co, generated via the in situ carbothermal reduction of Na₂SO₄ and CoSO₄. This approach creates a three-dimensional porous composite cathode structure that facilitates electrolyte infiltration and forms a continuous conductive network for efficient electron transport. The in situ formed Na₆CoS₄/Co electrocatalysts, tightly integrated with Na₂S, exhibit strong catalytic activity and robust physicochemical stabilization, thereby accelerating redox kinetics and mitigating the polysulfide shuttle effect. As a result, the Na₂S–Na₆CoS₄/Co@C cathode achieves superior capacity retention, demonstrating a discharge capacity of 346 mAh g⁻¹ after 100 cycles. This work highlights an effective strategy for enhancing Na₂S cathodes with embedded catalysts, leading to enhanced reaction kinetics and superior cycling stability.
