Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are promising for high energy density storage.
  • Separator integrity and dendrite formation are critical challenges in LMBs.
  • Current separators lack sufficient thermal stability and dendrite suppression capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced separator for lithium metal batteries.
  • To enhance the thermal stability and mechanical properties of battery separators.
  • To prevent lithium dendrite growth for improved battery safety and longevity.

Main Methods:

  • Coating separators with an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer binder composite.
  • Fabrication of hybrid-composite-coated separators.
  • Characterization of thermal stability, porosity, and ionic conductivity.
  • Testing of lithium metal battery cells under various charge-discharge conditions.

Main Results:

  • Hybrid-composite-coated separators showed minimal thermal shrinkage (<5%).
  • Maintained high porosity (Gurley number ~400 s/100 cm(3)) and ionic conductivity (0.82 mS/cm).
  • Prevented lithium dendrite growth, enabling excellent C-rate and cyclability over 200 cycles.
  • Demonstrated superior nanoscale surface mechanical properties compared to lithium metal anodes.

Conclusions:

  • The novel hybrid-composite coating effectively enhances separator performance in lithium metal batteries.
  • The coating's mechanical properties are key to preventing lithium dendrite formation.
  • This technology offers a promising solution for safer and more durable lithium metal batteries.
