AI Technical Summary
Existing lithium battery separators are prone to shrinkage during thermal runaway, leading to contact between the positive and negative electrodes and accelerating thermal runaway. Existing improvement methods have increased processing difficulty and cost and have not completely solved the thermal shrinkage problem.
By using block polymer membranes, controlling the porosity and block polymer content, and combining them with cyclic carbonate electrolytes, membranes with high ionic conductivity and low thermal shrinkage are prepared.
Achieving lithium-ion conductivity at low porosity reduces membrane thermal shrinkage and improves lithium battery safety performance.
