Disclosed in the present application are a separator, a preparation method for a separator, and an electrochemical device. The separator comprises a bonding layer, and a base film and a gel film which are respectively arranged on two sides of the bonding layer. In the present application, the gel film has relatively good ductility and deformation resistance, is not prone to be being pierced or still completely covers a pierced position after being pierced, such that the separator still plays a role in separating positive and negative electrodes; and the base film has relatively good shape-retaining capability and self-supporting performance. The base film and the gel film are respectively provided on the two sides of the bonding layer, such that the gel film and the base film are bonded into a whole under the bonding action of the bonding layer, and thus when there is an external force acting in the vertical direction of the separator, the separator deforms but is not prone to breaking, thereby delaying the breakage of the separator and improving the stability and safety of a battery.

An iron anode employs an electrolyte for generating an anode reaction to convert between Iron II and Iron III ions, denoted by Fe(OH)2 and FeOOH, rather than tending towards formation of highly stable Fe3O4, which can tend to cause "dead" regions in the battery. A suitable battery chemistry includes iron-air and other iron metal batteries operable with an aqueous electrolyte and employing oxygen and water cathodes. The iron anode battery employs inexpensive available iron, rather than more expensive and/or volatile materials used in Li-ion and lead-acid batteries. An aqueous electrolyte formed from sodium hydroxide and silicates, optionally with potassium or chloride salts, forms an anode reaction with nanostructured iron oxide particles in a safe and stable battery chemistry which is readily scalable for grid storage.
