There are many important components in the LiB, one of which is a separator that serves to block short circuits between the anode and cathode of the battery while providing a way for ion exchange to continue. This article summarizes important information related to battery separator technology.
The mechanical strength and thermal stability of the separator are the basic guarantees of lithium batteries’ safety. At the same time, the separator’s high porosity and electrolyte wettability are necessary conditions for the high electrochemical performance of lithium batteries . Fig. 1. (a) Schematic diagram for lithium battery.
Separator is critical to the performance and safety of the rechargeable batteries. The design principles and basic requirements for separators are overviewed. The modification strategies in tailoring the separators' properties are discussed. Separators with high-temperature resistivity and better safety are desirable.
Li-ion battery separators may be layered, ceramic based, or multifunctional. Layered polyolefins are common, stable, inexpensive, and safe (thermal shutdown). Ceramic oxides reduce shrinkage and particle penetration and improve wetting. Chemically active multifunctional separators may trap, attract, or dispense ions.
The separator prepared by the wet method can effectively inhibit the occurrence of lithium dendrites on the graphite anode during the charge process due to the curvature of the pores and the interpenetrated microporous structure, and thus is more suitable for the battery with long cycle life.
After absorbing the electrolyte, the separator is easily separated due to swelling, thereby affecting the performance of the battery. Besides, the composite separator is usually very thick, and shows higher internal resistance, which also affects the ionic conductivity and the discharge capacity of the battery [49, 100, 101]. 3.2.3.
