Summary
Electrospun PAN/PVdF-HFP membranes have the potential to be used as separators for Li-ion batteries owing to their good mechanical properties and high chemical stability. However, the application of PAN/PVdF-HFP separators has been hampered by their poor electrochemical performances. In this study, semi-aligned PAN/PVdF-HFP nanofiber separators have been fabricated by an electrospinning technology. Sepiolite and ZIF-67 co-modification was employed to enhance the physical properties of the PAN/PVdF-HFP separators. The test cells with the as-prepared composite separator showed better electrochemical performance than the commercial and raw PAN/PVdF-HFP separators.
