Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has emerged as a promising separator material in lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology, primarily due to its favorable properties such as excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. HA-based separators have shown considerable potential in enhancing the overall performance of LIBs, particularly in terms of safety and efficiency. This review discusses the various properties and behaviors of HA separator materials, including their ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, and ability to inhibit lithium dendrite growth. Additionally, we address the challenges associated with the integration of HA into commercial battery systems, such as scalability, processing techniques, and compatibility with electrolyte solutions. The results indicate that HA-based separators not only enhance thermal stability, allowing batteries to withstand higher temperatures, but also improve mechanical strength, contributing to the flexibility and durability of the separator. Furthermore, the unique composition of HA supports better ion transport, thereby improving the overall electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. This paper emphasizes the significant potential of HA as a separator material and encourages further research to optimize its properties for practical applications in battery technology.
