Summary: A TpPa-2SO(3)H covalent organic framework (COF) nanosheet adhered cellulose nanofibers (CNF) on the polypropylene separator (COF@PP) is designed to solve the issues of uncontrolled ion transport and susceptible solid electrolyte interface (SEI) films, which hinder the growth of lithium dendrites in lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The COF@PP separator, with aligned nanochannels and abundant COF functional groups, shows dual-functional characteristics that can simultaneously modulate ion transport and SEI film components, leading to robust lithium metal anodes. By using COF@PP separator, the Li//COF@PP//Li symmetric cell exhibits stable cycling over 800 h with low ion diffusion activation energy and fast lithium ion transport kinetics, effectively suppressing dendrite growth and improving stability of Li+ plating/stripping. Additionally, the LiFePO4//Li cells with COF@PP separator deliver a high discharge capacity of 109.6 mAh g(-1) even at a high current density of 3 C, showing excellent cycle stability and high capacity retention due to the robust LiF-rich SEI film induced by COFs. This COFs-based dual-functional separator promotes the practical application of lithium metal batteries.
