A Li-ion battery is composed of the active materials (negative electrode/positive electrode), the electrolyte, and the separator, which acts as a barrier between the negative electrode and positive electrode to avoid short circuits.
Separator The separator is a membrane located between the electrodes to prevent physical contact without compromising the flow of lithium ions. Chemical and electrochemical stability against the electrolyte and electrodes are one of the key requirements of separators, as well as small pore size (<1 μm).
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.
As the ‘third electrode’ material in batteries, the separator is a thin film with a microporous structure positioned between the positive and negative electrodes. Its primary function is to prevent direct contact between the electrodes while facilitating the normal transport of Li + ions and insulating electrons [3, 39, 40].
The development of separator membranes for most promising electrode materials for future battery technology such as high-capacity cathodes (NMC, NCA, and sulfur) and high-capacity anodes such as silicon, germanium, and tin is of paramount importance.
The lithium deposit layer in the lithium metal battery often plates on the surface of the lithium negative electrode because of the large current density and uniform ion flux, which makes it easier to generate lithium dendrites. So, the lithium diffusion into the lithium negative electrode can be a good solution to this problem.
Copper metal is electrochemically inert and does not react easily with lithium, which is widely used as an anode collector material for lithium batteries to obtain better electron collection. The electronic insulation of the lithium battery separator itself leads to a more difficult charge transfer at high current densities.
