Lithium-ion battery separators are receiving increased consideration from the scientific community. Single-layer and multilayer separators are well-established technologies, and the materials used span from polyolefins to blends and composites of fluorinated polymers.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with liquid electrolytes and microporous polyolefin separator membranes are ubiquitous. Though not necessarily an active component in a cell, the separator plays a key role in ion transport and influences rate performance, cell life and safety.
Desired Characteristics of a Battery Separator One of the critical battery components for ensuring safety is the separator. Separators (shown in Figure 1) are thin porous membranes that physically separate the cathode and anode, while allowing ion transport.
Separators for liquid electrolyte Li-ion batteries can be classified into porous polymeric membranes, nonwoven mats, and composite separators. Porous membranes are most commonly used due to their relatively low processing cost and good mechanical properties.
