In fact, mechanical, thermal and electrochemical effects occurring in the lithium-ion cell have an ongoing impact on the separator. The separator structure, its chemical composition and the electrolyte composition all impact how a separator will respond to the dynamic processes occurring in a cell.
Currently, most commercial separators for lithium-ion batteries are typically porous polyolefin films, both polyethylene and polypropylene. These polymer separators are generally not compatible with some conventional electrolytes that include solvents of high dielectric constants, such as: This is due to the low surface energies of the polyolefins.
