Herein, a catalytic two-dimensional heterostructure composite is prepared evenly grafting mesoporous carbon on MXene nanosheet (denoted as OMC-g-MXene), serving interfacial kinetic accelerators Li–S batteries. In this design, grafted can not only prevent stack of nanosheets with enhanced mechanical property also offer facilitated pump for accelerating diffusion. Meanwhile, exposed defect-rich OMC-g-MXene inhibits polysulfide shuttling chemical interactions between polysulfides thus simultaneously enhances electrochemical efficiency, fully investigated situ/ex situ characterizations. Consequently, cells pumps achieve high cycling (966 mAh g–1 at 0.2 C after 200 cycles), superior rate performance (537 5 C), an ultralow decaying 0.047% per cycle 800 cycles 1 C.
