The battery separator is one of the most essential components that highly affect the electrochemical stability and performance in lithium-ion batteries. 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.
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.
At present, the separators are developed from various types of materials such as cotton, nylon, polyesters, glass, ceramic, polyvinyl chloride, tetrafluoroethylene, rubber, asbestos, etc... In conditions like rising in temperature, the pores of the separator get closed by the melting process and the battery shuts down.
For example, consider a three-layered separator with a PE battery separator material sandwiched between two layers of Polypropylene - PP Separator. The PE layer will melt at a temperature of 130°C and close the pores in the separator to stop the current flow; the PP layer will remain solid as its melting temperature is 155°C.
