Synthetic polymer-based membranes for lithium-ion batteries

Publication . Martins, Pedro; Nunes-Pereira, João; Lanceros-Mendez, Senentxu; Costa, C. M.

Efficient energy storage systems are increasingly needed due to advances in portable electronics and transport vehicles, with lithium-ion batteries standing out among the most suitable energy storage systems for a large variety of applications. In lithium-ion batteries, the porous separator membrane plays a relevant role as it is placed between the electrodes, serves as a charge transfer medium, and affects the cycle behavior. Typically, porous separator membranes are comprised of a synthetic polymeric matrix embedded in the electrolyte solution. The present chapter focus on recent advances in synthetic polymers for porous separation membranes as well as on the techniques for membrane preparation and physicochemical characterization. The main challenges to improve the synthetic polymer performance for battery separator membrane applications are also discussed.
