## Description

- description: 'A sandwich-structured composite separator integrating ion selectivity
    and multi-size sieving capabilities has been developed. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries
    benefit from this ion modulation strategy, which effectively prevents the migration
    of undesired ions, non-uniform Zn2+ transport, and passivation/corrosion reactions
    caused by SO42−/H2O. These issues typically lead to capacity degradation and shortened
    cycle life. By sequentially modifying a glass fiber separator with bacterial cellulose
    and Ti0.87O2 nanosheets, the Zn2+ flux is effectively homogenized, while the migration
    of harmful ions to the zinc anode surface is suppressed. Negatively charged Ti0.87O2
    nanosheets with Ti vacancies contribute to a high Zn2+ transference number, accelerated
    desolvation, and provide atomic-scale ion-sieving capabilities. Notably, Zn||Zn
    symmetric cells equipped with this novel separator exhibit an extended cycling
    life at 1 mA cm−2/1 mAh cm−2 and enable dense, dendrite-free zinc deposition at
    4 mA cm−2 / 8 mAh cm−2. Furthermore, Zn||V2O5 full cells deliver a high specific
    capacity of 278.9 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1, while high-mass-loading Zn/I2 full cells
    retain 97.1% of their capacity after 1600 cycles at 2 A g−1. This ion modulation
    strategy offers valuable insights for the rational design and modification of
    separators towards dendrite-free metal batteries. '
