A separator system for an alkaline cell comprises an absorbent layer and a barrier layer adjacent to the absorbent layer. The arrangement of the separator material in the cell improves separation between anode and cathode, increases the volume available in the cell for active material or void volume, thereby improving cell performance or enhancing reliability of cells containing the system.
