Figure S2: SAXS pattern for the sample f-BMC-AAM indexed in the circular hexagonal (p6mm) unit
cell. The squares show the reflections from the mesophases in the AAM pores while the circles show
reflections from a mesoporous top layer on the membrane. This top layer can be indexed in a 2Dhexagonal unit cell (plane group p6mm) with 01 orientation regarding the membrane normal.

Figure S3: Cycling stability of the two carbon nanofibers (f-BMC-SIL-S50 and f-BMC-AAM-S50)
loaded with 50 wt% sulfur. The f-BMC-SIL-S50 cathode exhibits higher discharge capacities, but similar
cycling performance like the f-BMC-AAM-S50. The discharge capacity drops from initially 1250 mAh/g
to 751 mAh/g (50 cycles) and 648 mAh/g (100 cycles) for the f-BMC-SIL-S50 electrode, which
corresponds to a reduction of ca. 40 and 48 %, respectively. The sample was measured at a rate of 1C.
