BU-306: What is the Function of the Separator

The absorbed glass mat (AGM) in the sealed lead acid version uses a glass fiber mat as a separator that is soaked in sulfuric acid. The earlier gelled lead acid developed in the 1970s converts the liquid electrolyte into a semi-stiff paste by mixing the sulfuric acid with a silica-gelling agent. Gel and AGM batteries have slight differences in

Why do MF batteries need a separator?

In Japan, due to the decrease in vibration of the battery caused by the improvement in road conditions and the popularisation of the MF battery, the envelope-type separator is required for expanded-type calcium electrodes. The application of this separator has spread to about 70% in batteries for common passenger cars.

Why is silica used in battery separators?

In addition to polyethylene, silica is the other main components in battery separators, which is responsible for mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and ionic conductivity of the separator ( Rand et al., 1996 ). Silica, on the one hand, increases the crystallinity of polyethylene by sets of events.
