Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries have become the dominant mobile power source due to their high energy density,long life and low self-discharge rate.The safety of lithium-ion batteries has always attracted people's attention.As an important part of the lithium-ion battery,the separator not only provides a channel for the transmission of lithium-ions,but also isolates the positive and negative electrodes to prevents the battery from short-circuiting,playing an important role in the safety of the lithium-ion battery.In recent years,researchers have devoted themselves to the development of various multifunctional safety separators from different perspectives of methods,materials and practical requirements.In this review,we mainly highlighted the latest developments of separators with high thermal stability and high safety for use in high-safety lithium-ion batteries.In addition,the future development direction and challenges of the next generation of high-safety,lithium-ion battery separators were also proposed.
