Functional separators have attracted much attention owing to their effectiveness in supporting the stable and safe operation of future ultrahigh‐capacity electrodes, especially sulfur cathodes and metal anodes in rechargeable batteries. Among the functional materials for separator modification, two‐dimensional (2 D) materials offer the unique advantages of intimate coverage, mechanical robustness, and rich surface chemistry. This Minireview summarizes up‐to‐date achievements in the development of 2 D material‐functionalized separators to promote the application of sulfur cathodes and metal anodes. With a deep understanding of the roles of 2 D materials and their precise control in functionalizing separators, 2 D materials will find great opportunities in advancing high‐energy‐density rechargeable batteries.
