Resumen de Growth in energy harvesting for ceramics picking up speed
Ceramics used in [Li]-ion battery separators, both in ion conducting and ion permeable applications are a growth market that many companies are not yet targeting, according to Richard Clark, strategic business development specialist for Morgan Advanced Materials.
The main components of Li-ion batteries are comprised of the anode, cathode, electrolyte and separator. The separator has three main jobs; it serves as a barrier to electrodes, a window to ions and a reservoir for the electrolyte.
"Separators also play a key role in battery performance and safety, and a ceramic coating on the separator can help to address some of the safety issues faced by Li-ion batteries," Clark said.
