Separators is indispensable for the normal operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the widely used commercial polyolefin separators have some inherent deficiencies such as poor thermotolerance, high inflammability and inferior electrolyte wettability, which restrict their further applications of the advanced and safe batteries. Herein, we design a novel thermotolerant (a shrinkage percentage of 0% at 300 ℃) and flame retarded aerogel separator consisting of aramid nanofibers (ANFs). Because of its high porosity (86.5% ± 6.1%) and excellent electrolyte uptake (695%), the ANFs aerogel separator has an ionic conductivity of 1.04 mS/cm and a high lithium-ion transference number (0.67), which can endow LIBs with outstanding rate performance and superior cycling performance. Specifically, the ANFs aerogel separator-based batteries possess a discharge specific capacity of 102 mAh/g with a capacity retention of 90.7% and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.3% after 600 cycles at 5 C. In addition, under an operated temperature of 90 ℃, the battery with ANFs aerogel separator can still conduct the very steady charge-discharge, presenting a capacity retention of 90.1% and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.6% after 200 cycles at 3 C. Accordingly, the separator can probably serve as a potential candidate for application to advanced and safe LIBs.
