Surface-Functionalized Separator for Stable and Reliable Lithium Metal Batteries: A Review

Metallic Li has caught the attention of researchers studying future anodes for next-generation batteries, owing to its attractive properties: high theoretical capacity, highly negative standard potential, and very low density. However, inevitable issues, such as inhomogeneous Li deposition/dissoluti...

description Metallic Li has caught the attention of researchers studying future anodes for next-generation batteries, owing to its attractive properties: high theoretical capacity, highly negative standard potential, and very low density. However, inevitable issues, such as inhomogeneous Li deposition/dissolution and poor Coulombic efficiency, hinder the pragmatic use of Li anodes for commercial rechargeable batteries. As one of viable strategies, the surface functionalization of polymer separators has recently drawn significant attention from industries and academics to tackle the inherent issues of metallic Li anodes. In this article, separator-coating materials are classified into five or six categories to give a general guideline for fabricating functional separators compatible with post-lithium-ion batteries. The overall research trends and outlook for surface-functionalized separators are reviewed.
