Figure 6. (A) Schematic illustration of the interface-induced growth of the conductive Ni3(HITP)2 modified separator for the application in Li-S batteries. 2D layered structure gives Ni3(HITP)2 uniform 1D pore channels, and the Ni3(HITP)2 membrane (black color) grown directly on the surface of the commercial polypropylene separator can be used as a barrier for the suppression of the polysulfide shuttling.
