"Novel functional separator with self-assembled MnO2 layer via a simple" by Xin Wang, Liwen Yang et al.
Modifying separator with metal oxides has been considered as a strong strategy to inhibit the shuttling of soluble polysulfide in the lithium-sulfur battery (Li-S battery). Manganese dioxide (MnO2), one kind of transition metal oxide, is widely applied to decorate the PP (Polypropylene) separator. However, the fabrication by physical coating is always multistep and complicated. Here, we design a simple and fast method to chemically decorate separator. Based on the oxidizing property of acidic KM...
