Polyethylene Terephthalate-Based Materials for Lithium-Ion Battery Separator Applications: A Review Based on Knowledge Domain Analysis
Summary
This review analyzed research trends in using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) — a common plastic — as a material for lithium battery separators. PET is also one of the most prevalent microplastic types found in the environment, and this review touches on the broader lifecycle of PET plastic materials.
As the key material of lithium battery, separator plays an important role in isolating electrons, preventing direct contact between anode and cathode, and allowing free passage of lithium ions in the electrolyte. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has excellent mechanical, thermodynamic, and electrical insulation properties. This review aims to identify the research progress and development trends of PET-based material for separator application. We retrieved published papers (2004–2019) from the Scientific Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database of the WoS with a topic search related to PET-based material for separator application. The research progress and development trends were analyzed based on the CiteSpace software of text mining and visualization.

A focused review on recycling and hydrolysis techniques of polyethylene terephthalate
This review examines techniques for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most common plastics found as microplastic pollution. Chemical recycling through hydrolysis shows the most promise for breaking PET back into its original building blocks for reuse. Improving PET recycling is important because reducing plastic waste at the source is one of the most effective ways to decrease microplastic contamination in the environment.
Occurrence, analysis, and toxicity of polyethylene terephthalate microplastics: a review
This review focuses on polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most common types of plastic found as microplastic contamination in food, beverages, dust, wildlife, and human tissues. The authors found major inconsistencies in how researchers measure and detect PET microplastics, making it difficult to accurately assess health risks. Better standardized methods are needed to understand the true scope of PET contamination.
Microbial degradation of polyethylene terephthalate: a systematic review
This systematic review examines how microorganisms like bacteria and fungi can break down PET plastic, one of the most common types of plastic waste. The research identifies several promising biological approaches that could help reduce plastic pollution without the harmful side effects of chemical recycling methods. Finding better ways to break down plastic waste is critical for reducing the microplastics that end up in our water, food, and bodies.
Sustainable Management of Microplastic Pollutions from PET Bottles: Overview and Mitigation Strategies
Researchers reviewed the environmental impact of PET bottle degradation and strategies for managing the resulting microplastic pollution. The study highlights that PET bottle usage continues to grow, and its breakdown releases low-molecular-weight compounds and microplastics, while outlining mitigation approaches including improved recycling and waste management practices.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of HDPE/PET Microplastics, Applications, and Impact on Environment and Life
Researchers reviewed the mechanical and thermal properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics, which persist in the environment for many years due to their resistance to degradation. The study examines how these widely produced plastics become microplastic pollutants distributed throughout freshwater and ocean environments, and discusses their potential impacts on living organisms.
