In this work, lignin/polyacrylonitrile composite fiber-based nonwoven membranes (L-PANs) were prepared by electrospinning with dispersing different amounts of lignin in the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solutions. The porosity of the L-PANs could reach 74%, which was significantly higher than that of the commercialized PP separator (42%). After exposure at 150 degrees C for 15 min, the L-PANs showed no apparent dimensional change and no wrinkles, however, the commercialized PP separator shrank by 32%. At the same time, a Li/LiFePO4 battery using L-PANs as a separator delivered superior discharge C-rate capability and cycling performance compared to those using the commercialized PP separator at room temperature. More specifically, the discharge capacity of the cell containing L-PAN (3 : 7 by weight) could retain 148.9 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles at 0.2C and the discharge capacity retention was 95%.
