The mechanical properties and chemical stability of commercial separators are excellent, but the performance of wettability and compatibility is insufficient for use in sodium ion battery systems. This article summarizes the optimal performance of separators in terms of their working principle and structure of sodium ion batteries.
The separator is one of the key components that directly affects battery performance. The mechanical properties and chemical stability of commercial separators are excellent, but the performance of wettability and compatibility is insufficient for use in sodium ion battery systems.
The separator, a crucial part of the internal structure in SIBs, can isolate the positive and negative electrodes, store electrolyte for the free transmission of sodium ions. , It significantly affects the electrochemical performance of the battery and determines the safety of the battery (Fig. 2).
The separator is one of the essential inner components, and determines the interface structure and internal resistance of a battery, which directly affects the battery capacity, cycling and safety performance, and other characteristics.
There is a large room for the development of SIBs due to the requirements of high-density energy and safety. Currently, positive and negative electrodes and electrolyte for SIBs have been industrialized, but progress of separators still falls behind. Separators are also crucial components of SIBs and determine the safety of batteries.
The polyolefin separator has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, but is not suitable for sodium battery systems due to its low melting point and incompatibility with sodium battery electrolytes. Inorganic coating on organic separator substrates is the current trend in the preparation of high-performance separators.
