Abstract:
The cover picture shows a microporous separator which is a key component to determine the safety and performance of lithium‐ion battery (LIB). In China, the LIB separators were totally imported from abroad before 2008. Based on the extensive studies on the pore formation mechanisms, Fu et al. realized the industrialization of LIB separators successfully. Nowadays, China has become the biggest producer of LIB separators in the word. More details are discussed in the article by Fu et al. on page 1207–1215.
