Furthermore, the component–structure–performance relationship of separators is summarized, and the impact of separator compositions and structures on the safety of LIBs is emphasized. In addition, the future challenges and perspectives of separators are provided for building high safety rechargeable lithium batteries.
Therefore, it is urgent to balance the security–reliability–performance of separators for the development of batteries. Currently, the most used separators for LIBs are microporous polyolefin membranes, such as PE and PP, due to their superior mechanical strength and chemical stability.
Unfortunately, most studies in the field of lithium-based batteries have only focused on separators between 20-25 μm so as to achieve a balance between battery safety and performance.
2.2. Separator Shutdown As shown in Figure 1, the location of the separator decides its primary function is to separate the anode and the cathode. The mechanical properties of separators are therefore very important for maintaining separation and Li-ion battery safety.

During the working procedure of the Li-ion batteries, the transportation of ions plays an important role in battery performance. A separator membrane offers ion-conducting routes between electrodes and also electronically isolates the electrodes to prevent internal short-circuit failure, which eventually results in cell fire or explosion [ 65 ].
