Porous separators obtained via phase inversion are promising candidates for alternatives to commercialized polyethylene (PE) separators because of their low production cost and high thermal stability. On page 1417 , Min Kim and Jong Hyeok Park demonstrate a novel and simple approach to fabricate a new separator with multiscale pore structure for lithium‐ion batteries. The multiscale pore structure obtained by controlled phase inversion plays a role in solving several drawbacks of commercialized PE separators for lithium‐ion batteries.
