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.
Separator, a vital component in LIBs, impacts the electrochemical properties and safety of the battery without association with electrochemical reactions. The development of innovative separators to overcome these countered bottlenecks of LIBs is necessitated to rationally design more sustainable and reliable energy storage systems.
Therefore, it is urgent to balance the security–reliability–performance of separators for the development of batteries. Currently, the most used separators for LIBs are microporous polyolefin membranes, such as PE and PP, due to their superior mechanical strength and chemical stability.
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 .
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, polyolefin microporous membranes, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are the most widely used separators. The low melting point of polyolefins (135 °C for PE and 165 °C for PP) leads to poor thermal stability of separators, seriously affecting the safety of batteries.
