3 (LATP) composite separators were fabricated via an environmentally benign and scalable papermaking process. Systematic modulation of the cellulose-to-LATP mass ratio (1 ∶ 1~1 ∶ 8) established composition-structure-performance correlations. The separator with a 1 ∶ 4 mass ratio exhibited optimal performance: LiFePO
4/Li half-cells showed a capacity decay rate of 0.034% per cycle over 1 000 cycles at 0.5
C, while high-voltage LiNi
0.5Mn
1.5O
4/Li batteries (>4.7 V) achieved 78.4% capacity retention after 1 000 cycles at 2
C. This approach constructs a high-performance organic-inorganic composite separator system and provides a strategy for regulating ion transport properties through inorganic electrolyte content, offering new design perspectives for next-generation high-safety, high-energy-density lithium metal battery separators.
