Polymeric separation materials in energy storage systems for e-mobility

Energy storage systems are built of a number of cells containing cathode, anode, electrolyte, and a separating element made of polymer. The features of the separator determine the cyclic character of the system’s work, the cell capacity and the technology of battery production. The paper presents a review of materials used in the production of separators for energy storage systems for e-mobility. The separators currently applied in acidic batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries and most popular lithium--ionic batteries are described. Moreover, new technological solutions in the area of separators used in chemical sources of current are discussed.
