What is a battery separator?

One of the most important components of the battery interior is its separator. It is the failure of a separator that causes contact between anode and cathode or their current collectors and lead to internal short circuit.

What happens if a battery separator deforms during normal operation?

During the normal battery operation the separator is not expected to sustain significant deformations, apart from those coming from the strains developed in electrodes with electrochemical cycling and from the cell stack pressure inside the battery pack.

What is the mechanical behavior of Li-ion battery separators?

Mechanical behavior of three types of Li-ion battery separators investigated. Strain rate sensitivity studied in two orthogonal directions. Inhomogeneity of strain distribution determined by digital image correlation. Separators show very different failure modes and strength.

Why is the mechanical integrity of battery separator important?

The mechanical integrity of battery separator is critical for prevention of internal short circuit. A better understanding of the mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of the separators may assist in explaining an apparently conflicting response.

Why do li-ion battery separators have a failure mode?

Such localized necking allows for extremely high strains close to 300% to develop in the material. The failure mode was remarkably different for all three types of separators which adds additional variable in safe design of Li-ion batteries for prevention of internal short circuits. 1. Introduction
