If the total thickness of the separator gets thicker, it increases the overall resistance of the cell and reduces the loading amount of active materials in the cell. On the contrary, if the total thickness of the separator becomes thinner, it increases the risk of separator puncture by growing Li dendrites.
Desired Characteristics of a Battery Separator. One of the critical battery components for ensuring safety is the separator. Separators (shown in Figure 1) are thin porous membranes that physically separate the cathode and anode, while allowing ion transport. Most micro-porous membrane separators are made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP

In 2017, the global diaphragm production is estimated to be around 2.38 billion m2, a year-on-year increase of 25.3%, of which dry membranes account for 42%, wet membranes account for 58%, and global lithium battery separators grow faster. Due to the increase in downstream

Tuneable and efficient manufacturing of Li-ion battery separators using conductivities. However, the formulations with the largest pores (TEGPC-4-40% and TEGPC-2-50%) proved difficult to make thinner than 50 μm, as the films became too brittle. Ideally, the separators should be 25 μm to become competitive with commercial separators. 5 To counteract this issue, the

China produces around 80% of the world''s separators. Out of these, 70% are wet process separators and 30% are process separators. As NMC battery are targeting higher energy density, manufacturers are mostly using wet separators. This is due to wet separators are 30%-40% thinner than dry separators, it can save more space for other components

The reason is that a thicker separator takes more space in the battery canister allowing for less packed electrodes materials. Second, the mass transfer resistance increases with decreasing separator porosity, resulting in increased electrolyte concentration gradient inside the battery separator. The correlation between the separator porosity

Firstly, the thinner the separator, the smaller the LIBs'' internal resistance, and the higher the energy density [3]. Secondly, the uniform thickness promotes the distribution of the internal current in LIBs, which reduces the short circuit caused by the excessive local current [3,

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are considered the ideal choice for high volumetric energy density lithium-ion batteries, but uncontrolled lithium deposition poses a significant challenge to the stability of such devices. In this
Thin separators also lower the internal resistance and increase the ion conductivity, resulting in an outstanding battery performance. Nevertheless, smaller thickness causes the reduction of mechanical strength and puncture strength at the same time, thus increasing the risk of battery short circuit.
In conclusion, it was observed that the practical LMB with the thin separator could achieve not only a higher energy density but also better battery performance. We have confirmed that drastically reducing the amount of electrolyte (E/C < 3 g (Ah) −1) impedes the long-term operation of LMB (Fig. 5 a and b).
As an important part of the liquid lithium-ion battery, the separator has a crucial impact on the safety and stability of the battery. Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) materials are widely used to prepare battery separators due to their good chemical stability .
A brief timeline summarizes the development of separators and their thicknesses for lithium-based batteries (Fig. 1). As shown in Fig. 2b, c and d, three major advantages are reflected in lithium-based batteries with thin separators:1) high energy density, 2) low internal resistance and 3) low material cost.
However, such thick separators come at the expense of less free space for accommodating active materials inside the battery, thus impeding further development of next-generation lithium-based batteries with high energy density.
This also means that as the thickness of the separator decreases, the surface resistance decreases, thereby improving the cycle life of lithium metal. Once again, in the case of Li metal-based batteries, it was confirmed that a separator with low resistance is advantageous for electrochemical properties.
