Separator, a vital component in LIBs, impacts the electrochemical properties and safety of the battery without association with electrochemical reactions. The development of innovative separators to overcome these countered bottlenecks of LIBs is necessitated to rationally design more sustainable and reliable energy storage systems.
Separators impact several battery performance parameters, including cycle life, energy and power density, and safety. The separator increases internal cell resistance, and the separator takes up valuable space inside the Li-ion, making separator optimization an important part of Li-ion design.
Additionally, the separator is also crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the batteries. In exceptional cases, such as accidents, punctures, or battery misuse, a local damage in the separator results in direct contact between the electrodes, leading to intense chemical reactions and potentially causing fires or explosions.
An often-overlooked aspect of materials development for batteries is the separator. The main purpose of the separator is to prevent electrical and physical contact between the electrodes while its porous structure allows an electrolyte (typically liquid) to transport ions. Conventionally, the separator is therefore a passive component.
Porosity & Pore Size: The typical porosity of a separator is 40 percent. If the porosity is larger, it can be difficult to close the pores during a battery shutdown event. The pores need to contain the electrolyte and allow ion movement between the electrodes.
In addition, the transferability of competencies from the production of lithium-ion battery cells is discussed.

The effects of different design variants on production are also explained.
