Today, separators for sealed lead-acid batteries are constructed of glass fibre mat soaked in sulfuric acid, while those for nickel-based batteries are made of porous cellophane, nylon, or polyolefin film.
Separators for lithium-ion batteries are made of polyolefin. Polyolefin serves as a separator in commercially accessible Li-ion batteries. This substance is inexpensive, has strong chemical stability, and great mechanical qualities.
By polymerizing olefin ethylene, a family of polymers known as polyolefins is created from olefin. A porous polymeric membrane known as a battery separator is required to prevent direct contact between a battery cell’s anode and cathode.
Along with the anode, cathode, and electrolyte liquid, it is one of the most significant parts kept inside the battery cell.
To withstand battery manufacturing and operation, they must be electrochemically, thermally, mechanically, and dimensionally stable. For high power operation, separators with high electrolyte permeability are widely desired.
The battery separator compares the voltage in the main and auxiliary batteries when the engine starter is engaged. The separator will activate both batteries to aid in starting an engine if the voltage of the main battery is lower than the voltage of the auxiliary battery.
The global EV battery Separator membrane coatings market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Since ENTEK Membranes is the sole manufacturer of “Wet-process” lithium-ion battery separators in the USA, it is in a prime position to address the burgeoning US lithium battery companies’ demands for IP strength, supply-chain stability, and on-shored regional production.
With the ability to go as thin as 3.5um, the cutting-edge and exclusive Lithium-ion “Wet-process” base film method enables the manufacturing of base films for portable devices with commercial scale volumes as thin as 5um.
The procedure enables the manufacturing of double-sided coated, lithium-ion battery separator nano-composites for maximum durability with extraordinarily low thermal shrinkage of 5% at 180oC for 30 minutes according to ENTEK’s patented in-house ceramic coating technology.
