Sumario: | With the development of portable devices and wearable devices, there is a higher demand for high-energy density and light lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The separator is a significant component directly affecting the performance of LIBs. In this paper, a thin and porous chitosan nanofiber separator was successfully fabricated using the simple ethanol displacement method. The thickness of the CME15 separator was about half that of mainstream commercial Celgard2325 separators. Owing to its inherent polarity and high porosity, the obtained CME15 separator achieved a small contact angle (18°) and excellent electrolyte wettability (324% uptake). The CME15 separator could maintain excellent thermal dimensional stability at 160 °C. Furthermore, the CME15 separator-based LIBs exhibited excellent cycling performance after 100 cycles (117 mAh g(−1) at 1 C). The present work offers a perspective on applying a chitosan nanofiber separator in light and high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). |
