The　formidable　shuttle　effect　of　lithium　polysulfides　(LiPSs)　and　sluggish　redox　kinetics　remain　two　major　obstacles　for　the　commercialization　of　lithium‑sulfur　(Li[sbnd]S)　batteries.　Herein,　vanadium-doped　tungsten　sulfide　nanograss　arrays　with　abundant　edge　sites　and　1　T/2H　heterophase　interfaces　that　directly　grown　on　carbon　cloth　(denoted　as　CC@V-WS2)　has　been　rationally　designed　for　Li[sbnd]S　batteries.　The　exposure　of　abundant　edge　sites　significantly　enhances　the　chemical　affinity　and　catalytic　activity　with　respect　to　LiPSs,　and　also　guides　the　uniform　deposition　of　Li2S　precipitate.　Meanwhile,　the　coexistence　of　metallic　1　T　and　semiconducting　2H　phases　greatly　enhances　the　electrical　conductivity　and　facilitates　the　charge　transfer.　Moreover,　these　unique　structural　and　compositional　features　cause　noticeable　in　situ　lithium　ion　intercalation　into　CC@V-WS2　during　the　electrochemical　processes,　thereby　further　improving　the　electrochemical　performance.　Consequently,　Li[sbnd]S　batteries　equipped　with　the　CC@V-WS2　interlayers　exhibit　a　high　initial　discharge　capacity　of　1182.6　mAh　g−1　at　0.1C,　outstanding　rate　performance　(657.4　mAh　g−1　at　5C),　and　long-term　cycling　durability　(low　capacity　fading　ratio　of　only　0.046%　per　cycle　over　800　cycles　at　3C).　Even　under　harsh　working　conditions　of　high　sulfur　loading　(6.0　mg　cm−2)　and　lean　electrolyte　(7.5　μL　mg−1),　the　battery　still　delivers　a　high　discharge　capacity　of　776.6　mAh　g−1　at　0.2C　after　60　cycles.　Furthermore,　theoretical　calculations　confirm　that　CC@V-WS2　possesses　stronger　chemical　adsorption　capability　and　better　catalytic　activity　toward　LiPSs　than　CC@WS2.　This　contribution　provides　valuable　guidance　for　designing　advanced　two-dimensional　(2D)　transition　metal　dichalcogenides　for　Li[sbnd]S　batteries.　©　2025
