To mitigate the slow conversion kinetics and "shuttle effect" of polysulfides, a flexible, self-supporting Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid coordination polymer nanowires/few layer Ti₃C₂T_x MXene (Ni-NTA/f-Ti₃C₂T_x) interlayers with three-dimensional network is elaborately devised and fabricated. In this framework, the M–O–M (M = metal ion) linkages on polymer nanowires present superior catalytic activity towards the conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Meanwhile, physical blocking and chemical trapping of LiPSs are also achieved, owing to the hierarchical porous structure and polar surface of hybrid interlayer. As a result, the lithium sulfur batteries assembled with Ni-NTA/f-Ti₃C₂T_x exhibit a high specific capacity of 899.5 mAh/g at 1 C and 529.6 mAh/g can be kept after 500 cycles with a decay rate of 0.08% per cycle, confirming the efficient alleviation of shuttle effect.
