Polyaniline Encapsulated Amorphous V2O5 Nanowire‐Modified Multi‐Functional Separators for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

nanowire component contributes to the strong adsorption of polysulfides, the high catalytic activity for polysulfides conversion, and the high ionic conductivity. The PANI component further strengthens the above effects, improves the electrical conductivity, and enhances the flexibility of the modified separator. Benefiting from the synergistic effects, the VOH@PANI-PP separator effectively suppresses polysulfide shuttling and improves the cycling stability of its composed Li-S batteries. This work provides a new research strategy for the development of efficient separators in rechargeable batteries by judiciously integrating the amorphous metal oxide with a conductive polymer.
