The influence of ceramic coating separator on the performance of lithium-ion battery:
Using polyethylene (PE) diaphragm for the lithium-ion battery as the matrix, the uniform coating thickness is 1-2μm on both sides of the inorganic and organic slurry mixed with special alumina (Al2O3) powder and gelling agent to obtain an inorganic Composite ceramic coating lithium-ion battery separator.

The results of the hot oven test on battery separators and batteries made of such separators show that the inorganic ceramic coating separator does not show large thermal shrinkage under a high-temperature environment of 150 ℃, has superior stability, and can effectively improve lithium Thermal safety of ion batteries. Because the inorganic nano Al2O3 has a higher specific surface area, the coated diaphragm has good wettability and liquid retention performance to the electrolyte. A battery assembled with a ceramic-coated separator was subjected to a charge-discharge cycle test, and the results showed that the coated separator can effectively improve the capacity retention performance of the lithium-ion battery.
