Abstract Conventional modification methods for the separator of high‐performance lithium‐sulfur batteries often struggle to realize the functional materials well adhering on and across the substrate. Herein, we employ a scalable top‐down strategy in an oil–water–oil system to interfacially polymerize COF nanoparticles across a polyolefin substrate as a self‐standing separator for Li─S batteries. By providing a suitable environment for the membrane to remain flat during polymerization, COF particles can penetrate from the surface into internal pores, forming a uniform and robust architecture. The resulting COF‐functionalized membrane incorporates abundant ‐OH groups that effectively promote Li + transport and restrict polysulfide shuttling. Benefiting from this synergy, the modified separator achieves high ionic conductivity (0.92 mS cm −1 ), an elevated polysulfide diffusion barrier (0.390 versus 0.283 eV), and excellent electrochemical performance, including 678 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 C. This in situ interface polymerization strategy offers a new path for more comprehensively functionalizing COF‐based membrane to achieve high‐performance lithium‐sulfur batteries.
