The battery separator is one of the most essential components that highly affect the electrochemical stability and performance in lithium-ion batteries. In order to keep up with a nationwide trend and needs in the battery society, the role of battery separators starts to change from passive to active.
First, the functional separator can improve the safety of the batteries, but at the cost of battery performance. Second, it is difficult to improve the performance of the functionalized separator when taking industrial standards into consideration, such as electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio in a Li-S cell.
The major role of the battery separator is to physically isolate the anode from the cathode while allowing mobile Li-ions to transport back and forth . Unfortunately, two technical challenges associated with separator puncture and significant thermal shrinkage of polymer separators threaten the overall safety of batteries.
Separators are currently made of different materials depending on the specific type of battery and the corresponding electrolytes they are designed for. This is because separators will have different wettability for different electrolytes, which are usually determined by each specific type of battery.
The continuous market demand for more autonomy and fl exibility of the EV batteries encourage manufacturers to keep developing new designs and innovative materials. Separators are thin permeable polymeric membranes that sit between the anode and cathode of a lithium-ion battery to prevent them from coming into contact – a potential fi re hazard.
Thus, it is essential to understand the manufacturing processes and resulting properties of commercial separators. These separators should be carefully designed and finely controlled to guarantee safe functioning in cells and battery performance.
