Nonaqueous lithium–oxygen (Li–O₂) batteries have drawn the broad attention of researchers in recent years. A separator, as an indispensable component of a battery, significantly affects the electrolyte retention rate, ion conduction, and anode stability in a Li–O₂ battery. However, a comprehensive comparison and analysis of the performance of commonly used separators in Li–O₂ batteries are still lacking. In this study, systematic electrochemical performances of Li–O₂ batteries with five kinds of commonly used separators Celgard 2400 (hereinafter referred to as Celgard), Whatman GF/A, GF/D, GF/F, and a laboratory-made gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) were investigated. Experimental results showed that batteries with GF/D and GD/F separators had far more stable cycling performances than those with GF/A, Celgard, and GPE, although the batteries with Celgard and GPE displayed similar discharge and charge capacity to the others. A slightly better cycling performance at the current rate of 200 mA g–¹ was obtained with GF/F than with GF/D. Nevertheless, considering the much higher price of GF/F than that of GF/D, the latter could be the best candidate for validating the Li–O₂ battery measurement. This study provides researchers with a valuable reference for choosing suitable separators for Li–O₂ batteries from the perspectives of cost and performance, which would push forward the process of the practical application of Li–O₂ batteries.
