Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement of human science and technology, emerging energy devices represented by lithium batteries have developed rapidly. As an important part of the battery, the separator directly affects the function realization and safe service of the lithium battery. Currently, battery separators coated with functional layers on the surface are the mainstream trend in the development of separator products in the world. The new functional coating on the surface of the separator greatly improves the cycle performance of the battery, providing high safety and a long-term service life. It plays a vital role in the improvement of battery performance. At the same time, the separator is also in a complex environment of force, heat and organic solvents during the service process. The aging and damage of the separator also greatly affects the safety of the battery. Therefore, studying and paying attention to the aging behavior of coated separators also have important practical significance.
Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your original research to this Coatings Special Issue entitled “Recent Developments, Applications and failure behaviors of functional coating battery separator”. The goal of this Special Issue includes all aspects of research related to functional coating separator and its application or failure behavior, including theoretical and application-oriented papers, experimental and numerical studies, case studies, and reviews.
We encourage you to send manuscripts containing scientific findings within the broad fields of battery separators and its application or failure behavior. In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:
- Lithium battery separator;
- Lithium-sulfur battery separator;
- Zinc battery separator;
- Heat-resistant coated separator;
- Flame-retardant coated separator;
- Separator aging;
- Puncture damage and lithium dendrites;
- Fatigue failure;
