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.
The major role of the battery separator is to physically isolate the anode from the cathode while allowing mobile Li-ions to transport back and forth . Unfortunately, two technical challenges associated with separator puncture and significant thermal shrinkage of polymer separators threaten the overall safety of batteries.
It is crucial to obtain an in-depth understanding of the design, preparation/ modification, and characterization of the separator because structural modifications of the separator can effectively modulate the ion diffusion and dendrite growth, thereby optimizing the electrochemical performance and high safety of the battery.
Lithium-ion battery separators are receiving increased consideration from the scientific community. Single-layer and multilayer separators are well-established technologies, and the materials used span from polyolefins to blends and composites of fluorinated polymers.
In order to keep up with a nationwide trend and needs in the battery society, the role of battery separators starts to change from passive to active. Many efforts have been devoted to developing new types of battery separators by tailoring the separator chemistry.
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 .

Separator (electricity)
Unlike many forms of technology, polymer separators were not developed specifically for batteries. They were instead spin-offs of existing technologies, which is why most are not optimized for the systems they are used in. Even though this may seem unfavorable, most polymer separators can be mass-produced at a low cost, because they are based on existing …
