  • Publication number: 20210320382
    Abstract: The invention provides a composite separating layer, which is composed of a separating body and a structural reinforcing layer disposed on one side of the separating body. The separating body is ion-conductive and without holes, so no soft shorting would be occurred. Also, by the structural reinforcing layer, the mechanical strength of the entire separating layer is enhanced. Therefore, when the separating body is subjected to impact or squeeze to deform, the contact between the positive and negative electrode layers are avoided in the presence of the structural reinforcing layer. The thickness of the overall separating layer can be greatly reduced from this arrangement of the separating body and the structural reinforcing layer.
