What is a Battery Separator?
A thin, porous membrane, commonly referred to as battery separator sheets, is placed between the anode and cathode. This crucial component prevents electrical short circuits while allowing ions to pass during the charging and discharging processes. These battery materials, often made from polymer separators, play a vital role in enhancing performance. Additionally, they are essential in research and development supplies, particularly in creating separator kits.
Common Separator Materials
Polyethylene (PE) is a flexible and cost-effective option commonly used in battery materials, particularly in lithium-ion cells. Polypropylene (PP), with its higher temperature tolerance, is often found in multilayer designs within battery separator sheets. Additionally, composite or ceramic-coated materials enhance thermal stability and safety, making them vital components in research and development supplies, including separator kits.
Key Separator Specifications
Thickness: Typically 10–25 µm. Porosity: This property determines how easily ions move within battery materials. Shutdown Temperature: The temperature at which pores in battery separator sheets close to prevent thermal runaway. Understanding these factors is crucial in the development of polymer separators and essential for research and development supplies, including separator kits.
Why Separator Quality Matters
The quality of battery materials directly affects battery performance, safety, and cycle life. Poor-quality battery separator sheets, such as substandard polymer separators, can shrink, tear, or melt under heat, compromising the effectiveness of your separator kits.
Separator Sizes
Industrial rolls for battery materials are available in widths of 500–1,200 mm and lengths ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 m. For research and development supplies, samples are often cut into lab-friendly sizes such as 10×10 cm, including battery separator sheets and polymer separators that are essential for separator kits.
