Abstract
Polyimide (PI) has excellent thermal stability, high porosity, and better high-temperature resistance. It has the potential to become a more high-end separator material, which has attracted the attention of the majority of researchers. This review is aimed at identifying the research progress and development trends of the PI-based material for separator application. We searched the published papers (2012–2021) from the WOS core collection database for analysis and analyzed their research progress and development trend based on CiteSpace text mining and visualization software. The analysis shows that the PI-based composite separator material is a research hotspot in the future and the combination of nanofiber and cellulose materials with PI is also an important research direction in the future.
