Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are an appealing candidate for advanced energy storage systems because of their high theoretical energy density and low cost. Yet, rapid capacity decay and short cycle life, mainly resulting from polysulfide dissolution, remains a great challenge for practical applications. Herein, we present a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived Co₉S₈ array anchored onto a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown three-dimensional graphene foam (Co₉S₈-3DGF) as an efficient sulfur host for long-life Li-S batteries with good performance. Without polymeric binders, conductive additives, or metallic current collectors, the free-standing Co₉S₈-3DGF/S cathode achieves a high areal capacity of 10.9 mA hr cm^-2 even at a very high sulfur loading (10.4 mg cm^-2) and sulfur content (86.9 wt%). These results are attributed to the unique hierarchical nanoarchitecture of Co₉S₈-3DGF/S. Our work is expected to open up a promising direction for the practical viability of high-energy Li-S batteries
