Impact of Battery Separators on Lithium-ion Battery Performance

Numerous researchers have experimentally studied battery materials to improve LIB performances. Blomgren summarized related works by a comprehensive review of LIB technologies developed over the past decades. This review article published in 2017 was devoted to the 25th anniversary of the first commercial LIB battery in the world. Research and development in many aspects of LIB materials, including electrodes, electrolyte, separator, and current collectors, continues improving the battery economics, energy capacity, and safety features. However, the experimental works are normally time-consuming and costly.
