Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the development of high-performance lithium batteries, it is essential to improve the individual performance of element materials in the battery. Through research on cathode and anode of batteries, battery capacity has been improved. Similarly, in order to improve the power performance of the battery, it is significant to enhance the mobility of the lithium cation that moves to proceed the charge transfer reaction in the battery system. The electrolyte solution exists in the electrodes and the separator membrane in the battery, and among them, the ion mobility in the separator, which takes part in holding the electrolyte, is an important element property that governs battery performance. In recent years, various types of separator membranes have been developed according to the purpose of the battery by improving the chemical composition and controlling the porous morphology of the membranes.
In view of this situation, it is effective to collect research results related to the separators for lithium batteries and share new knowledge among related researchers to further advance the research and generate new ideas. Based on this concept, we aim to publish this Special Issue.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
