As previously mentioned, biomass materials are readily available, renewable, and recyclable. Consequently, they can serve as a sustainable raw material for battery separators with continuous and reliable supply.
It is simple and fast to make the battery separator by casting after mixing the ceramic particles with the matrix. This production process can well control the thickness of the separator and reduce the cost of production, compared with the preparation of some functional coatings.
While cellulose-based and lignin-based materials have shown great potential as biomass-derived separators for batteries, it is important to acknowledge the advancements being made with other types of materials as well.
Biomass-based separators, including options like cellulose-based separators, are gaining popularity due to their potential to address sustainability concerns, enhance safety, and meet the evolving needs of post-lithium-ion batteries, making them a promising choice for future energy storage solutions.
At the same time, the oxygen-containing functional groups in cellulose lend the membrane a good ability to inhibit the shuttle effect and dendrite. Batteries assembled with such separators have higher stability than batteries assembled with PP separators.
