Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjn318pb4" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The cells using the hydrophilic separator show significantly enhanced cycle performance. At a rate of 0.2 C, they demonstrate an initial capacity of 1271 mA h g⁻¹, and after 30 cycles, the capacity can still remain at 1020.3 mA h g⁻¹, while for the cell using a conventional hydrophobic separator, the capacity is 1238.4 and 532.9 mA h g⁻¹, respectively.</p> </abstract>
