Potential of Cellulose Acetat Separator of Empty Palm Oil Fruit Bunches and Polyvinylidene Fluoride for Energy Storage Applications

One of the components that play an important role in maintaining battery security is separator. The separator plays a preventing short circuits due to direct exchange between anode and cathode cell. To avoid leakage or circuit during process, must have good mechanical properties. For this reason, modifications are needed improve characteristics modification process was carried out by mixing Poyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) cellulose acetate (CA) polymers. CA used study obtained utilizing natural waste extracts form empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB). This aims see effect variations addition EFB PVDF on resulting Synthesized characterized using Fourier Transfor Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy which showed had been successfully synthesized into acetate.. produced electrolyte absorption, indicated occurrence oxidation-reduction reaction hysteresis curve with wider reversible loop upon 0.2 g CA. also increased concentration, 0.3 highest tensile strength value 62.335 MPa porosity 89.35%. decomposes more quickly, weight loss percentage 60%. results test indicate can affect physical has potential become
