Herein, we report a two-dimensional, ultrathin and ultra-light bimetal-Ni Co-organic framework as the interlayer for Li-S batteries. This kind of interlayer can effectively block polysulfides and accelerate the conversion with a thickness of only 1 μm and a load of 0.1 mg/cm^(2). Because the MOF nanosheets with a thickness of a few nanometers have a large specific surface and a large number of exposed accessible active sites. At the same time, the intrinsic activity of each site is enhanced and the catalytic performance is improved due to the synergistic effect of mixed metals and the unique coordination environment around the active sites. So, 2D NiCo MOF/CNT totally meets the requirements for the lightweight and effective interlayer. The initial discharge capacity of cell with 2D NiCo MOF/CNT interlayer can reach 1132.7 m Ah/g at 0.5 C. It remained 709.1 m Ah/g after 300 cycles, showing good cycling stability and rate performance.展开更多
