Lead acid battery separator materials have progressed significantly over the history of this workhorse chemistry and is a good indicator of the arrow of progress of the entire field. The first lead acid separators were natural rubbers that had moderate porosity (∼55–65 %) with more sizes on the order of 1–10 μm.
Lead acid batteries pose the following challenges to a separator. Both anode and cathode are subject to shape change and possible embrittlement, so the separator must be compliant enough to accommodate this type of change while also preventing material crossover.
As a result separators were no longer the age-limiting mechanisms for lead acid batteries, and conductivity effectively doubled again. Polyethylene systems improved the overall porosity to levels previously realized by natural rubber systems while maintaining the mechanical advantages of PVC.
Lead acid battery (LAB) recycling benefits from a long history and a well-developed processing network across most continents. Yet, LAB recycling is subject to continuous optimization efforts because of increasingly stringent regulations on process discharge and emissions.
The nickel-based batteries are built with porous polyolefin films, nylon or cellophane separators, whereas the sealed lead acid battery separator uses a separator called AGM Separator (Absorbed Glass Mat) which is a glass fiber mat soaked in sulfuric acid as a separator.
The first lead acid separators were natural rubbers that had moderate porosity (∼55–65 %) with more sizes on the order of 1–10 μm. These separators were on the order of 500 μm thick. These systems suffered aging and embrittlement problems, and the separator was often the point of failure for these batteries.
