Figure 1a,b show test results for separators tested in three directions. For dry processed PE and trilayer separators, the strength in diagonal direction (DD) and TD is in the same order, which is much lower than that. . Due to a thin-film nature and operating environment, the separator must sustain a l. . A more representative loading case for separators is a punch intrusion. The separator may go under this kind of loading in most real world mechanical abuse scenarios. It repr. . Hypotesis, Soft verus Hard Short CircuitIn punch test of the whole battery cells, due to the friction from cathode and anode particles, the separator is mostly expected to fail in Mode A,. The roots causes for failure include localized heat up, large scale heat up, uncontrolled discharge, and penetration of the separator by foreign particles. [pdf]
The mechanical integrity of battery separator is critical for prevention of internal short circuit. A better understanding of the mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of the separators may assist in explaining an apparently conflicting response.
Such localized necking allows for extremely high strains close to 300% to develop in the material. The failure mode was remarkably different for all three types of separators which adds additional variable in safe design of Li-ion batteries for prevention of internal short circuits. 1. Introduction
One of the most important components of the battery interior is its separator. It is the failure of a separator that causes contact between anode and cathode or their current collectors and lead to internal short circuit.
It is the failure of a separator that causes contact between anode and cathode or their current collectors and lead to internal short circuit. Most common type of separators are polymeric porous membranes, made of polyolefin, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or their combination .
During the normal battery operation the separator is not expected to sustain significant deformations, apart from those coming from the strains developed in electrodes with electrochemical cycling and from the cell stack pressure inside the battery pack.
These mechanisms may lead to or may be the cause of, certain modes of failure. The mechanical mode of failure appears to be the most perilous one, compromising the battery safety in case of a mishap . In this mode, the battery or the casing undergoes deformation due to external loads that are mostly impulsive in nature.
