Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are the essential parts of many portable electronic devices. They draw substantial recognition by virtue of their advantages over other batteries. Separators are critical to the working of lithium-ion batteries. The separator is a key component of lithium-ion battery that isolates the cathode and anode. Though the separator does not participate in the electrochemical process, it plays a major role in the safety of the battery. Nanomaterials are used in many applications in our life. Nanocellulose are sustainable materials used to fabricate parts of energy storage devices. This review discusses the potential of nanocellulose incorporated materials to use as separators in lithium-ion batteries.

 

Keywords: Bacterial nanocellulose; cellulose nanocrystal; lithium-ion battery; nanocellulose; separators

 

Abstrak

Bateri litium-ion adalah bahagian penting bagi kebanyakan peranti elektronik mudah alih. Ia mendapat pengiktirafan yang besar berdasarkan kelebihan mereka berbanding bateri lain. Pemisah adalah penting untuk bateri litium-ion (LIB) berfungsi. Walaupun pemisah tidak melibatkan proses elektrokimia, ia memainkan peranan utama dalam keselamatan bateri. Bahan nanoselulosa adalah bahan yang berpotensi untuk pelbagai aplikasi termasuk dalam sektor tenaga. Kajian ini meneroka potensi nanoselulosa untuk digunakan sebagai pemisah dalam bateri ion litium. Kajian ini menyerlahkan penyelidikan dalam bidang ini dengan tumpuan khusus pada bahan nanoselulosa berbeza daripada sumber semula jadi seperti selulosa nanofibril (CNF), selulosa nanohablur (CNC) dan bakteria nanoselulosa (BC) untuk memasang pemisah di dalam bateri litium-ion. Secara keseluruhannya, ulasan ini memberikan pandangan yang lebih mendalam tentang sumbangan bahan pemisah yang digabungkan dengan nanoselulosa kepada keselamatan dan prestasi bateri litium-ion.

 

Kata kunci: Bakteria nanoselulosa; bateri litium-ion; nanoselulosa; pemisah; selulosa nanohablur
