The demand for energy storage is growing, and the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries are being explored to overcome them. Accordingly, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are developing very rapidly, owing to their high safety, environmental friendliness, high abundance of resources, and high cost performance. Over the last decade, ZIBs have made remarkable progress through extensive efforts in the field of electrode materials and through fundamental understanding of non-electrode components, such as solid-electrolyte interphase, electrolytes, separators, binders, and current collectors. In particular, the breakthrough in using separators on non-electrode elements should not be overlooked as such separators have proven key to conferring ZIBs with high energy and power density. In this Review, recent progress in the development of separators in ZIBs is comprehensively summarized based on their functions and roles in ZIBs, including the modification of conventional separators and the development of novel separators. Finally, the prospects and future challenges of separators are also discussed to facilitate ZIBs development.
对储能的需求不断增长，人们正在探索锂离子电池的缺点以克服它们。因此，水系锌离子电池（ZIBs）发展迅速，这得益于其高安全性、环境友好性、资源丰富以及高性价比。在过去十年中，通过在电极材料领域的广泛努力以及对诸如固体电解质界面、电解质、隔膜、粘结剂和集流体等非电极组件的深入理解，水系锌离子电池取得了显著进展。特别是，在非电极元件上使用隔膜所取得的突破不应被忽视，因为这类隔膜已被证明是赋予水系锌离子电池高能量和功率密度的关键。在本综述中，基于隔膜在水系锌离子电池中的功能和作用，全面总结了水系锌离子电池隔膜开发的最新进展，包括传统隔膜的改性和新型隔膜的开发。最后，还讨论了隔膜的前景和未来挑战，以促进水系锌离子电池的发展。
