Herein, we designed a simple and energy-saving ethanol-transfer-adsorption method to prepare the activated carbon cloth/sulfur composite (ACC/S). Then, the prepared composite was wrapped in a thin-layered nickel-based hydroxide (NNH) to form a tree-bark-like structure. After irreversibly reacting with lithium to form a barrier layer with both good Li+ permeability and abundant functional polar/hydrophilic groups, this layer could retard the diffusion of lithium polysulfides by both physical confinement and chemisorption. As a result, the freestanding NNH/ACC/S cathode with 4.3 mg cm(-2) sulfur loading displayed a high-areal discharge capacity of 4.3 mA h cm(-2) over 100 cycles at 0.15 C. When cycled at 0.5 C, it still showed a discharge capacity of 650.0 mA h g(-1) over 350 cycles.
