The separator technology is a major area of interest in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for high-energy and high-power applications such as portable electronics, electric vehicles and energy storage for power grids. Separators play an essential part that physically prevents direct contact between positive and negative electrodes while acting as an electrolyte reservoir to transport lithium ions. The characteristics of different separators would directly affect the performance under cell abuse; hence separators are crucial for battery safety. This paper introduces the characteristics of separators, means to improve traditional commercial polymeric separators and novel materials for separators. Other novel high-performance separators are also briefly discussed in this paper. Insights from this paper illustrate that various strategies could enhance the performance of separators, and better performance and safety can be achieved in separators in high-energy lithium-ion batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
