Abstract:

As an important structural component of lithium batteries, separator plays a key role in blocking contact between positive and negative electrodes, absorbing and immobilizing electrolyte, and transferring ions. Commercial separators for lithium batteries face problems such as heat shrinkage at high temperatures, which affects the lasting safety of the battery. This paper firstly briefly introduces the requirements of lithium-ion battery separators in terms of pore structure, electrolyte wettability, structural/thermal/chemical/electrochemical stability, and separator-electrolyte interactions, etc., and focuses on the research progress of high-temperature-resistant polymer separators by exploring the recent relevant literature; focusing on the analysis of the strategies of high-heat-resistant polymer-based separators, flame-retardant additive-coated separators, and polymer-substrate composites, etc., the mechanism of the improvement of the flame-retardant multifunctional composite separator; as for the strategy of lithium dendrite inhibition of the composite separator, it mainly introduces the three methods of physically blocking the growth of lithium dendrites, homogenization of lithium dendrites, and modulation of lithium-ion migration fluxes. Comprehensive analysis shows that by thinning the polyolefin separators while introducing high-performance thin coatings, doping solid electrolytes, and developing high-heat-resistant polymer-based separators, and other strategies, it is expected to achieve high ionic conductivity while realizing high safety.
