  text: Lithium-ion batteries are in widespread use in electric vehicles and hybrid
    vehicles. Besides features like energy density, cost, lifetime, and recyclability
    the safety of a battery system is of prime importance. The separator material
    impacts all these properties and requires therefore an informed selection. The
    interplay between the mechanical and electrochemical properties as key selection
    criteria is investigated. Mechanical properties were investigated using tensile
    and puncture penetration tests at abuse relevant conditions. To investigate the
    electrochemical performance in terms of effective conductivity a method based
    on impedance spectroscopy was introduced. This methodology is applied to evaluate
    ten commercial separators which allows for a trade-off analysis of mechanical
    versus electrochemical performance. Based on the results, and in combination with
    other factors, this offers an effective approach to select suitable separators
    for automotive applications.
