A separator is a permeable membrane placed between a battery's anode and cathode. The main function of a separator is to keep the two electrodes apart to prevent electrical short circuits while also allowing the transport of ionic charge carriers that are needed to close the circuit during the passage of current in an electrochemical cell.
Although separator is an inactive element of a battery, characteristics of separators such as porosity, pore size, mechanical strength, and thermal stability influence the ion transport, cycle life, performance, and safety of the batteries . Thus, the separator represents one of the key components in LIBs.
Separator is critical to the performance and safety of the rechargeable batteries. The design principles and basic requirements for separators are overviewed. The modification strategies in tailoring the separators' properties are discussed. Separators with high-temperature resistivity and better safety are desirable.
Since the electrolyte is an organic solvent system for lithium-ion batteries, the separator should generally possess the following properties: The pore size and structure are usually influenced by polymer compensation and stretching conditions. The pore size affects the transit of the anode and cathode of the li-ion battery.
Separators are critical components in liquid electrolyte batteries. A separator generally consists of a polymeric membrane forming a microporous layer. It must be chemically and electrochemically stable with regard to the electrolyte and electrode materials and mechanically strong enough to withstand the high tension during battery construction.
This review summarizes and discusses the five types of separators used in rechargeable batteries, namely microporous membranes, non-woven membranes, composite membranes, modified polymer membranes, and solid electrolyte membranes. In general, lithium-ion battery separators are currently a research hotspot in battery separator research.
