As the separator plays an essential role in the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries, the recent theoretical simulation work for this battery component are shown, with particular emphasis on morphology, dendrite growth, ionic transport, and mechanical properties.
In the future, PTFE-based battery separators will be used in rechargeable batteries and even in new energy devices with more severe and complex electrolytes, which will play an important role and challenge in providing a reference for the research on PTFE-based battery separators.
At present, researches on separators still focus on the improvement performance of the dendrite growth, ion transport, mechanical properties and wettability. Functional separators are also key to improving the electrochemical performance of batteries.
Although we cannot use the same materials to fabricate separators for Na-S batteries as a result of the different wettability of the two different kinds of electrolytes, the materials that are used to modify the separators and mitigate the shuttle effect in Li-S batteries may also be used for the same purpose in Na-S batteries.
