Binder-Free Ceramic Coated Separators Prepared By Polydopamine Treatment and RF-Sputtering
In this study, polydopamine is coated on a polyethylene separator which can improve the heat resistance of the polyethylene separators. Then using RF sputtering and Al2O3 targets, ceramic coatings are made on this separator. With a submicron polydopamine and ceramic coating layer, the coated polydopamine and Al2O3 (PDA) separator has sufficient thermal properties comparable to conventional ceramic coated separators. In addition, PDA separator is electrochemically evaluated by ion conductivity and uptake amount for wettability, impedance analysis, rate capability, and cycle life.
