Lithium-ion batteries are mainly composed of five parts: positive electrode material, negative electrode material, diaphragm, electrolyte and packaging material. The lithium-ion battery diaphragm is a porous film with uniformly distributed micropores. It is located between the positive electrode material and the negative electrode material of lithium battery. It plays a role in preventing direct contact between positive and negative electrodes, preventing battery short circuit and transmitting ions. It is a key material to ensure battery safety and affect battery performance. Although the diaphragm does not directly participate in the electrochemical reaction of the battery, its performance affects the interface structure, internal resistance and other properties of the battery, and thus affects the battery's energy density, cycle life and rate performance; the thermal stability of the diaphragm also determines the battery's operating temperature tolerance range and battery saf...
The diaphragm plays two main roles in lithium-ion batteries. First, the diaphragm material needs to have good insulation and a certain strength to avoid direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes in the battery, and can effectively prevent short circuits caused by punctures such as burrs and dendrites, and ensure that there is no significant dimensional change under sudden high temperature conditions, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery. Second, the porous structure of the diaphragm can provide a good migration channel for lithium ions, ensuring stable and efficient operation of the battery.
