Advanced Materials for Battery Separators focuses solely on battery separators and their significance, providing the reader with a detailed description of their use in both aqueous and non-aqueous batteries. Topics include separator requirements and classifications, as well as discussions of the different methods for the fabrication of separators, experimental techniques used for the characterization of separators, and their physical and chemical properties. It concludes with a look at the challenges and new technologies developed to improve the performance of separators. This book is a valuable reference for engineers, research scholars, and for graduates and post graduates primarily in the field of material science, electrochemistry, and polymer chemistry. It can also be useful for engineers and technologists working in both industry and the energy field.
