在锂电池的结构中，正极与负极之间维持着一种危险的平衡。为了防止两极直接接触造成短路，它们必须被一层布满微孔的高分子薄膜物理隔开。这层膜， 就是隔膜。 隔膜的厚度通常以微米计量，7微米到9微米。但恩捷股份（002812.SZ）创始人，董事长Paul Xiaoming Lee（李晓明）和副董事长兼总经理李晓华这对"李氏 兄弟"的目标是将这个间隙做得更薄。 这种近乎透明的薄膜，决定了电池的安全性与能量密度，也决定着一个家族在财富榜上的地位。 12月26日，锂电产业链再掀小高潮，恩捷股份盘中一度触及涨停。截至收盘，恩捷股份报56.71元/股，涨幅9.10%，市值557亿元。年初至今，该股涨幅超过 70%。 但如果将时间线拉长，恩捷股份股价较巅峰时期已跌去八成，市值蒸发超过2500亿元。 回顾李氏兄弟的商业起点，是典型的技术精英归国创业。 1996年，在马萨诸塞大学深耕高分子材料研究的李晓明带着弟弟李晓华回国创业，彼时的李晓华同样拥有麻省大学高分子材料专业背景。 李氏兄弟二人的技术基因为后来的创业埋下伏笔。他们所选的第一个赛道是卷烟包装BOPP薄膜。在云南这个烟草大省，这几乎是一门躺着赚钱的生意。 但李晓明很快意识到， ...
