Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Electrospun PVDF-HFP with ZrO2 Nanoparticles Used as Separator in Electrochemical Systems

This study focuses on the preparation of nanocomposite polymer separators by the electrospinning technique. PVDF-HFP polymer was combined with different concentrations of ZrO2 (0, 5, 7, and 10 wt%). The fabricated nanofibrous mats were analyzed to evaluate their electrochemical and mechanical properties. The incorporation of the ceramic filler was investigated to determine its influence on the separator performance, aiming to develop high-performance separators for future Energy Storage Systems (ESSs).
