Separators in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries literally separate the anode and cathode to prevent a short circuit. Modern separator technology also contributes to a cell’s thermal stability and safety. Separators impact several battery performance parameters, including cycle life, energy and power density, and safety.
Ceramic-coated separators and high melting point polymer materials offer some improvement in thermal stability and abuse tolerance for lithium-ion cell separators but, in general, more evaluation is needed to quantify the safety impact of these new separators.
At present, polyolefin microporous membranes, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are the most widely used separators. The low melting point of polyolefins (135 °C for PE and 165 °C for PP) leads to poor thermal stability of separators, seriously affecting the safety of batteries.
Separator, a vital component in LIBs, impacts the electrochemical properties and safety of the battery without association with electrochemical reactions. The development of innovative separators to overcome these countered bottlenecks of LIBs is necessitated to rationally design more sustainable and reliable energy storage systems.
These modern separators prevent short circuits, enhance ion conduction, and provide thermal stability. They are now essential in various applications, from lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries to electric vehicles and portable electronics. The performance, safety, and longevity of a battery largely depend on the quality of its separator.
