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.

What is a battery separator?

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.

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 .

What are the performance test results of a battery separator?

What are the different types of battery separators?

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.
