Plasma technology has emerged as a critical processing method in material science and surface engineering due to its high efficiency, minimal material damage, and environmental friendliness. It is widely employed in semiconductor fabrication, environmental remediation, aerospace, and energy applications. Plasma-assisted synthesis and surface modification enhance the thermomechanical and corrosion-resistant properties of inorganic nanomaterials, carbon matrices, and functional coatings. With the rapid advancement of lithium-ion batteries, plasma technology has also gained increasing attention for battery material optimization, demonstrating significant potential for improving performance. This review systematically outlines the fundamental principles and methodologies of plasma technology, with a focus on its recent applications in modifying lithium battery separators, and classifies these applications according to different modification principles. Then, the electrochemical performance achieved in different studies was introduced in detail. Furthermore, current challenges and limitations are analyzed, followed by perspectives on future research directions and potential industrial applications.
