Battery separators based on vinylidene fluoride (VDF) polymers and copolymers for lithium ion battery applications

Effect of the degree of porosity on the performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)/poly(ethylene oxide) blend membranes for lithium-ion battery separators

“…Further, polymer electrolytes can be used in multiple applications, including electrochromic devices [9][10][11], fuel cells [12,13] and sensors/actuators [14], supercapacitors/ultracapacitors [15], together with Li-ion batteries [4,16].…”

“…The main parameters of a separator/electrolyte are permeability, porosity/pore size, electrolyte absorption and retention, low ionic strength, mechanical and thermal stability, resistance to chemical degradation by electrolyte impurities and uniform thickness [16,21].…”

Pectin-based Polymer Electrolytes with Ir(III) Complexes

“…The most probable applications of these materials are in primary and secondary batteries [2], in electrochromic windows [3] and related applications [1].…”

Effect of Silica and Tin Oxide Nanoparticles on Properties of Nanofibrous Electrospun Separators

“…12,13 Recently, highly porous membranes produced by electrospinning has been widely investigated as separators in lithium-ion batteries due to the unique properties of the nanofibrous non-woven constructs: high porosity (typically 80-90%), high pore interconnectivity and high surface area to volume ratio that lead to a large electrolyte uptake and excellent ion transport. [14][15][16][17][18] This peculiar behavior makes electrospun mats suitable for high ionic conductivity and power intensive applications in lithium cells. However, the poor mechanical properties of electrospun non-wovens can limit their use for industrial applications, where high stresses and bending are applied during battery assembly.…”
