The low Li+ transference number (t(Li)(+)), or the relatively small proportion of Li+ conductivity with respect to total ionic conductivity, has been identified as a key drawback of binary electrolytes. The lack of approaches to restrain anion mobility results in the poor cyclability of energy-dense electrodes as the high rate of anion movement induces concentration polarization. Herein, we propose regulating the ion conduction behavior using a nanocomposite separator fabricated via the functionalization of a glass fiber (GF) separator with a metal-organic framework (MOF). The open metal sites in the MOF serve as the anchoring sites for anions, and the resulting t(Li)(+) is increased by 100%. The MOF-functionalized nanocomposite separator with high t(Li)(+) substantially improves the electrochemical performance of a Li metal anode, with an areal capacity exceeding 2 mA h cm(-2), and intercalation-type electrodes (LiFePO4 and Li4Ti5O12), with high active material loadings of 45 mg cm(-2).
