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.
Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) materials are widely used to prepare battery separators due to their good chemical stability [2, 3, 4]. However, its low porosity and poor electrolyte wettability are not conducive to the battery’s capacity maintenance in the high-power charging and discharging process.
As one of the essential components of batteries (Fig. 1 a), the separator has the key function of physical separation of anode and cathode and promotes the transmission of ionic charge carriers between electrodes . The mechanical strength and thermal stability of the separator are the basic guarantees of lithium batteries’ safety.
Cellulose-based separators for lithium batteries manufactured by coating can be divided into three types. The first category points to coating diverse materials on the cellulose substrate, including ceramic particles and polymers.
Though high-performance fibers-based separators have attracted more and more interest and shown huge potential in the development of high-performance and advanced-safety lithium batteries, most researches concerning the preparation of high-performance fibers separators are still in the laboratory stage.
