Separator for Lithium-ion Batteries

The lithium-ion battery separator is one of the important internal components in the structure of a lithium battery. Its main function is to separate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, preventing the two electrodes from touching or short-circuiting. It also allows the passage of electrolyte ions. Its performance determines the interface structure and internal resistance of the battery, directly affecting the battery's capacity, cycle, and safety performance. Toyohashi Chemical can adjust the characteristics of the diaphragm according to the development needs of battery customers, and realize customized production.
