Lithium‑sulfur　batteries　(LSBs)　have　bright　market　prospects　due　to　their　ultra-high　theoretical　specific　capacity.　However,　their　practical　application　is　limited　by　poor　cycle　stability　under　current　technology.　The　specific　design　of　the　positive　electrode　is　the　key　to　improve　the　electrochemical　performance　of　lithium‑sulfur　batteries.　In　this　work,　we　build　three-dimensional　(3D)　Co/Zn-ZIF-67@CNT　by　growing　two-dimensional　(2D)　Co/Zn-ZIF-67　onto　one-dimensional　(1D)　carbon　nanotubes,　which　is　in　situ　carbonized　and　vulcanized　to　prepare　Co1-CoS2@CNT@C　three-dimensional　skeleton　composite.　By　controlling　the　amount　of　Zn(NO3)2,　the　structure　of　the　composite　is　regulated,　which　balances　the　catalytic　activity　(by　Co)　and　the　adsorption　(by　CoS2)　toward　polysulfides　(LiPSs).　Co1-CoS2@CNT@C,　as　a　3D　porous　skeleton　material,　has　high　specific　surface　area,　high　sulfur　loading　and　the　ability　to　conduct　ions　and　electrons　quickly.　Moreover,　Co　and　CoS2　serve　as　heterostructure　that　exhibits　effective　polar　chemisorption　and　fast　co-catalytic　redox　reaction　kinetics　toward　soluble　LiPSs.　Thus,　when　zinc　nitrate　hexahydrate　is　added　at　0.15　g,　LSB　using　this　Co1-CoS2@CNT@C　sulfur　host　exhibits　a　high　initial　discharge　capacity　of　1047.4　mAh　g−1　at　0.2C　with　2.5　mg　cm−2.　It　can　still　deliver　a　reversible　capacity　of　473.3　mAh　g−1　after　500　cycles　at　1C.　It　provides　a　fresh　insights　for　the　development　of　heterostructure　catalyst　to　accelerate　the　kinetic　transformation　of　LiPSs　high　stability　LSB.　©　2024　Elsevier　Ltd
