Abstract

Separators are essential for safe and efficient battery operation. Polyolefin separators like polyethylene (PE) are widely used in lithium-ion batteries but are incompatible with strongly polar electrolytes, such as chloroaluminate ionic liquids in rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs). Glass fiber (GF) membranes are commonly used in RABs due to good wettability, but their excessive thickness, mechanical fragility, and nonuniform macropores limit practicality. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing an alumina-coated PE (Al2O3–PE) separator for RABs. Theoretical and experimental analyses show that the polarizable Al2O3 induces strong ion–dipole interactions with RAB electrolytes, imparting exceptional wettability and electrolyte uptake. Combined with its uniform nanopore structure, Al2O3–PE enables homogeneous ion flux for reversible Al stripping/plating with dendrite suppression. In RABs with graphene cathodes, Al2O3–PE outperforms GF separators, achieving higher capacity, improved rate performance, and long cycling stability. Flexible pouch cells with Al2O3–PE demonstrate stable operation under bending, supporting practical application.
