Sepiolite-based separator for advanced Li-ion batteries

Novel Sepiolite‐Based Materials for Lithium‐ and Sodium‐Ion Storage

“…As noted, all the diffraction peaks in the TO sample (For more details related to the samples, refer Experimental Section) can be assigned to the anatase phase of TiO 2 (JCPDS21‐1272) . The XRD pattern of sepiolite is consistent with the reported results . Unsurprisingly, the featured diffraction peaks of the anatase phase of TiO 2 and sepiolite can be observed in the XRD patterns of composites, suggesting that the crystal growth of the TiO 2 is not destroyed by the addition of sepiolite during the calcination.…”

“…The sepiolite‐based composites show high performance in the field of photocatalysis, adsorption, coating, and ceramics. However, sepiolite has not received much attention in energy storage and conversion . Herein, TiO 2 /sepiolite composite for Li‐ and Na‐ion batteries is prepared by hydrothermal reaction and its electrochemical properties are assessed.…”

Removal of heavy metal ions by porous sepiolite‐based membrane

“…As described in [29], refined sepiolite powders were prepared from raw sepiolite products by an acid treatment method. 2.0 g sepiolite was thoroughly ground and poured in a mixture of 10 ml DMF and 10 ml THF.…”

“…As described in the previous work [29], the ae‐prepared PU/sepiolite solution was used as an electrospun solution. For electrospinning, the electrospun solution was fed into a syringe.…”

Lithium acetate modified PU/graphene composites as separator for advanced Li‐ion batteries

“…Undoubtedly, the electrochemical properties of the LIBs were mainly determined by the electrode materials [7][8][9]. However, battery separator plays a key role by protecting LIBs from short circuit and overcharge [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. A good separator should meet the requirements of suitable thickness, high thermal stability, and high Li + ion transmission rate [19,20].…”
