AStructure–Performance Relationships of Li-Ion Battery Fiber-Based Separators

Jerush Christopher, Collaborators

This study investigates how the pore size and pore size distribution of PVDF-based fibrous separators—produced using meltblowing, electrospinning, and shear spinning—affect electrolyte uptake, ionic conductivity, and overall battery performance. The findings demonstrate that both smaller pores and broader distributions enhance discharge capacity and rate capability in Li/LiCoO₂ cells, offering key insights for next-generation Li-ion battery design.
