A zeolite/polyimide composite separator with a spongy-like structure was prepared by phase inversion methods based on heat-resistant polyimide (PI) polymer matrix and ZSM-5 zeolite filler, with the aim to improve the thermal stability and electrochemical properties of corresponding batteries. The separator exhibits enhanced thermal stability and no shrinkage up to 180 °C. The introduction of a certain number of ZSM-5 zeolites endows the composite separator with enhanced wettability and electrolyte uptake, better facilitating the free transport of lithium-ion. Furthermore, the composite separator shows a high ionic conductivity of 1.04 mS cm−1 at 25 °C, and a high decomposition potential of 4.7 V. Compared with the PP separator and pristine PI separator, the ZSM-5/PI composite separator based LiFePO4/Li cells have better rate capability (133 mAh g−1 at 2 C) and cycle performance (145 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C after 50 cycles). These results demonstrate that the ZSM-5/PI composite separator is promising for high-performance and high-safety lithium-ion batteries.

Electrochemical Window

To improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a polyether amide–silica (PEI-SiO2) composite membrane was developed by the in situ hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and its subsequent self-assembly on the surface of PEI fibers. Because of the presence of the SiO2 shell, the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane exhibited good thermal stability at high temperatures. The composite membrane did not change its color and size after heating at 200°C for 1 h as well as exhibited excellent flame retardancy. Moreover, the membrane maintained its high porosity even after the introduction of shell layers. The electrolyte is completely absorbed in the membrane within 0.5 s. The electrolyte uptake was up to 625%, and the ionic conductivity was up to 1.9 mS/cm at room temperature. Compared to the polyolefin membrane and the pure PEI membrane, the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane showed higher electrochemical stability, with an electrochemical window of up to 5.5 V. The battery assembled with the composite membrane showed excellent cycle stability, and the capacity retention rate was as high as 98.6% after 50 cycles. The LIBs based on the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane exhibited safe operation and high electrochemical performance, thus highlighting the applicability of the composite membrane in high-power batteries.
