Low-cost self-assembled electrode coating as a separator for batteries
BackgroundA separator in a rechargeable battery serves as a physical barrier between the two electrodes, allowing ionic transport with a liquid electrolyte while blocking electrical transport, preventing a short circuit. The separator is the most expensive component by weight of a commercial lithium-ion battery. Additionally, it is the least researched...
