To meet the booming demands for lithium-ion battery (LIB), it is practically significant to promote its electrochemical performance and safety. In our work, a novel kind of flexible membrane as separator for LIB is prepared via phase inversion method with soluble polyimide (SPI) containing trifluoromethyl substituent, which is synthesized from 1,4-bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene (6FAPB) and 4,4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA).

The SPI membrane depicts a sponge-like structure with abundant interconnected pores and delivers a dominant porosity (67%). The SPI membrane displays desired electrolyte wettability, validated by contact angle tests (16.2° and 46.8° for SPI membrane and PE separator, respectively) and electrolyte uptake tests (420 and 132% for SPI membrane and PE separator, respectively). The LIB with SPI membrane as separator exhibits nice ionic conductivity (0.92 mS cm^?1) than that with PE separator (0.30 mS cm^?1), and therefore affords better electrochemical performance, such as cycling stability and rate capability.

Separator technologies for lithium-ion batteries

Although separators do not participate in the electrochemical reactions in a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, they perform the critical functions of physically separating the positive and negative electrodes while permitting the free flow of lithium ions through the liquid electrolyte that fill in their open porous structure. Separators for liquid electrolyte Li-ion batteries can be classified into porous polymeric membranes, nonwoven mats, and composite separators. Porous membranes are most commonly used due to their relatively low processing cost and good mechanical properties. Although not widely used in Li-ion batteries, nonwoven mats have the potential for low cost and thermally stable separators. Recent composite separators have attracted much attention, however, as they offer excellent thermal stability and wettability by the nonaqueous electrolyte. The present paper (1) presents an overview of separator characterization techniques, (2) reviews existing technologies for producing different types of separators, and (3) discusses directions for future investigation. Research into separator fabrication techniques and chemical modifications, coupled with the numerical modeling, should lead to further improvements in the performance and abuse tolerance as well as cost reduction of Li-ion batteries.     

Construction of Safety and Non-flammable Polyimide Separator Containing Carboxyl Groups for Advanced Fast Charing Lithium-ion Batteries

With the wide applications of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electronic devices and electric vehicles, it is of great importance to improve their safety and electrochemical performance. Herein, soluble polyimides (PI) containing carboxyl groups (?COOH) were synthesized by a simple one-step method and PI separators with sponge-like, interpenetrating porous structures were prepared via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). The obtained PI separators exhibited excellent thermal stability and fire-resistance properties, with the electrolyte uptake of 344% and good dimensional integrity in air at 200 °C. The results showed that the lithium-ion transference number of the obtained PI separator could reach 0.48, which was much higher than that of the Celgard-2400 separator (0.38). The Li/LiFePO₄ half-cell with the PI separator showed excellent cycle capability and high-rate performance with a high capacity of 121.80 mA·h·g^?1 at 5 C, which was better than that of the cell with the Celgard-2400 separator (54.3 mA·h·g^?1), demonstrating the promising applications of this PI separators in LIBs.

     

Rational Design of Cellulose Nanofibrils Separator for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) with high thermal stability and excellent electrolyte wettability attracted tremendous attention as a promising separator for the emerging sodium-ion batteries. The pore structure of the separator plays a vital role in electrochemical performance. CNF separators are assembled using the bottom-up approach in this study, and the pore structure is carefully controlled through film-forming techniques. The acid-treated separators prepared from the solvent exchange and freeze-drying demonstrated an optimal pore structure with a high electrolyte uptake rate (978.8%) and Na⁺ transference number (0.88). Consequently, the obtained separator showed a reversible specific capacity of 320 mAh/g and enhanced cycling performance at high rates compared to the commercial glass fiber separator (290 mAh/g). The results highlight that CNF separators with an optimized pore structure are advisable for sodium-ion batteries.     

Recent advances on battery separators based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers for lithium-ion battery applications

Lithium-ion batteries represent one of the most suitable systems for effective energy storage for a wide range of applications, such as smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, or even home storage systems. Among the different battery components, the separator plays an essential role in the performance of the batteries; its most relevant characteristics are (micro)structure, wettability, thermal and mechanical properties, and ionic conductivity value. This work provides a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in lithium-ion battery separator membranes based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers. The most recent developments in the last two years are presented, focusing on the different separator types that have been developed with the aim of improving wettability, thermal characteristics, and cycling behavior. The most used types of PVDF separators are composites, polymer blends, and the combination of both. Among the most common fillers, metal–organic frameworks, ionic liquids, and ceramic particles have been used for the development of PVDF-based composites and polymers such as poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), poly(acrylonitrile), poly(tetrafluoroethylene), or poly(methyl methacrylate), for the development of polymer blends. Electrospinning is one of the most used processing techniques to improve wettability, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. The wettability of separators has been also improved by using PVDF as a coating on commercial separators.It is shown that PVDF-based battery separators can play an important role in the next generation of high-performance batteries.
