What are lithium-ion battery separators?

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.

Why do we need a characterization of a battery separator?

It is crucial to obtain an in-depth understanding of the design, preparation/ modification, and characterization of the separator because structural modifications of the separator can effectively modulate the ion diffusion and dendrite growth, thereby optimizing the electrochemical performance and high safety of the battery.

Are ceramic-coated lithium-ion cell separators safe?

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.

What are the characteristics of a battery separator?

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.

Why are separators important for Li-ion batteries?

Separators contribute to the safety and reliability of Li-ion batteries. When comparing various separator materials, there are numerous specifications, including chemical stability, mechanical strength, wettability, thermal performance and porosity, and pore size.

Can a multifunctional separator be used in a Li-ion battery separator?

Multifunctional separators offer new possibilities to the incorporation of ceramics into Li-ion battery separators. SiO 2 chemically grafted on a PE separator improves the adhesion strength, thermal stability (<5% shrinkage at 120 °C for 30 min), and electrolyte wettability as compared with the physical SiO 2 coating on a PE separator .
