The safety problems encountered with lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) hinder their development for practical applications. Herein, a highly thermally conductive separator was constructed by cross-weaving super-aligned carbon nanotubes (SA-C) on boron [email protected] (SA-BC) to create composite film (SA-BC/SA-C). This used fabricate safe LSBs improved electrochemical performance. aligned struct...
