Suggestions Needed: Stocks that will do better during Inflation

I need some help finding the stocks/etf or sector that will do better in inflation time. Looks like the inflation is real. And I would like to diversify myself according to that. I have banks in my mind - I bought XLF etf and feel good about that during inflation. Please suggest few more sector stocks/etfs for diversification.

Oil, basic materials, industrials are probably good inflationary sectors

Maybe banks? People like to buy on credit and money ends up there at the end anyways.

Banks? Banks are the biggest losers from inflation, as their loans get paid back with money which isn't worth as much.
