Lithium-sulfur batteries (LiSBs) are emerging as promising alternative to conventional secondary lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) due to their high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, preventing polysulfide dissolution is a great challenge for their commercial viability. The present work is focused on preparing a lithium salt and ionic liquid (IL) solution (SIL) impregnated ion (lithium ion)-conducting gel-polymer membrane (IC-GPM) interlayer to prevent polysulfide migration toward the anode by using an electrostatic rejection and trapping strategy. Herein, we introduce an SIL-based freestanding optimized IC-GPM70 (70 wt % SIL) interlayer membrane with high lithium-ion conductivity (2.58 × 10-3 S cm-1) along with excellent thermal stability to suppress the migration of polysulfide toward the anode and prevent polysulfide dissolution in the electrolyte. Because of the coulombic interaction, the anionic groups, -CF2 of the ß-phase polymer host PVdF-HFP, TFSI- anion of IL EMIMTFSI, and anion BOB- of LIBOB salt, allow hopping of positively charged lithium ions (Li+) but reject negatively charged and relatively large-sized polysulfide anions (Sx-2, 4
