Separators in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries literally separate the anode and cathode to prevent a short circuit. Modern separator technology also contributes to a cell’s thermal stability and safety. Separators impact several battery performance parameters, including cycle life, energy and power density, and safety.
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.
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.
The development of separator membranes for most promising electrode materials for future battery technology such as high-capacity cathodes (NMC, NCA, and sulfur) and high-capacity anodes such as silicon, germanium, and tin is of paramount importance.
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 .
