水系锌离子电池受制于锌枝晶生长与界面副反应等瓶颈,开发具有离子调控功能的纳米纤维素基隔膜是提升其循环稳定性的关键。针对现有研究中材料宏观形态多收敛于水凝胶一体化、导致分类边界混淆的痛点,本文立足于材料组装调控的“核心主导机制”,系统综述了纳米纤维素基隔膜的多维度设计策略。重点剖析了聚焦分子尺度化学键合的表面化学改性、定位于微纳尺度空间物理限域的孔道结构调控以及跨相界控制活性水的电解液-聚合物协同设计三大策略的科学内涵与差异化路径。最后,展望了该领域在规模化制备、严苛工况适应性及理性定制范式等方向的挑战与工程化前景,以期为高稳定性水系锌电池的设计提供理论参考。
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are highly promising candidates for large-scale energy storage owing to their intrinsic safety and cost-effectiveness. However
their practical application is severely hindered by dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions at the anode-electrolyte interface. As a critical component that separa
tes electrodes and regulates ion transport
the separator requires careful structural engineering and interfacial optimization. Nanocellulose has emerged as an ideal building block for high-performance separators owing to its high specific surface area
abundant active sites
and tailorable network topology. To address a common challenge in current research
where diverse separator design strategies exhibit morphological convergence toward integrated hydrogel structures
frequently leading to ambiguous classification
this review moves beyond superficial structural similarities and establishes a rigid
mechanism-driven classification framework. Specifically
we systematically elucidate three core design dimensions based on their underlying regulatory mechanisms: (i) surface chemical modification
which relies on molecular or supramolecular chemical interactions; (ii) pore structure regulation
which provides spatial confinement and geometric stabilization; and (iii) electrolyte-polymer synergistic design
which disrupts phase boundaries to reduce free water activity. The distinct scientific mechanisms through which each strategy homogenizes Zn
2+
flux
optimizes desolvation kinetics
and suppresses side reactions are comprehensively analyzed. Finally
future perspectives and engineering challenges
including scalable manufacturing
adaptability under harsh operating conditions
and life cycle assessment
are discussed to provide comprehensive guidelines for the rational design of stable
long-life AZIBs.
