Preferential lattice expansion of polypropylene in a trilayer polypropylene/polyethylene/polypropylene microporous separator in Li-ion batteries

Abstract The abnormal lattice expansion of commercial polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (PP) separator in lithium-ion battery under different charging current densities was observed by in-situ X-ray diffraction. Significant lattice changes of both PP and PE were found during the low...
