A functional interlayer based on two-dimensional (2D) porous modified vermiculite nanosheets (PVS) was obtained by acid-etching vermiculite nanosheets. The as-obtained 2D porous nanosheets exhibited a high specific surface area of 427 m²•g^-1 and rich surface active sites, which help restrain polysulfides (LiPSs) through good physical and chemical adsorption, while simultaneously accelerating the nucleation and dissolution kinetics of Li₂S, effectively suppressing the shuttle effect. The assembled lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) employing the PVS-based interlayer delivered a high initial discharge capacity of 1 386 mAh•g^-1 at 0.1C (167.5 mAh•g^-1), long-term cycling stability, and good rate property.
