However, the shuttle effect of soluble polysulfides and the sluggish redox kinetics of sulfur species have greatly hindered their commercialization and practical application. Herein, we propose a straightforward strategy to construct NiCo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2010NC heterostructure nanocages, which serve as multifunctional separator modifiers to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium\u2010sulfur batteries. Specifically, nitrogen doping enhances the polarity of the carbon matrix, enabling both physical confinement and chemical anchoring of polysulfide species.
