Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. As a core component, separator plays a unique yet oftentimes overlooked role in providing electrochemical stability in AZIBs. This concept focuses on the exquisite structure-property relationship of separators, highlighting three forms of these components and their structural design requirements, i. e., traditional membranes, solid-state electrolytes, and electrode coatings. The mechanism by which separators influence the zinc anode and the cathode is discussed. The article also identifies the challenges and potential future directions for functional separators in the development of high-performance AZIBs.
