The integration of nanocatalysts into the separators lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) boosts polysulfide conversion efficiency. However, aggregation catalyst nanoparticles diminishes active surface area. Moreover, densely packed catalyst-modified layers often hinder ion transport rates and impede access to catalytic sites. To overcome these challenges, a strategy is reported for modifying commercial separators, using wood nanocellulose as building block construct hierarchical P-doped MoO2-x...
