Pilot Scale Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Coatings on a Polyolefin Separator to Enhance Dimensional Stability for Thermally Stable Long-Life Rechargeable Batteries. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14214474.

Abstract
The electric vehicle and energy storage markets have grown rapidly in recent years. Thermal runaway caused by malfunctioning Li-ion batteries is an urgent issue with many causes (e.g., mechanical, electrical, and thermal abuse). The most common cause of thermal runaway is the formation of an internal short circuit because of damage to the separator. There has been significant effort to improve the design of separators, but to our knowledge, only inorganic nanoparticle coatings are used in commercial Li-ion batteries. Here, hybrid organic/inorganic coating layers are synthesized in a pilot-scale process that was developed from a crosslinkable polyamide-imide synthesis technique. The fabrication process is optimized to achieve reproducible hybrid organic/inorganic coating layers that are thin (≤4 μm), permeable (≤250 s/100 cc), and thermally stable beyond 150 °C. The hybrid coating layer is applied to mini-18650 Li-ion cells to show that the discharge capacity did not change at low discharge rates, and the retention capacity after 500 cycles was better than that of the reference cells used for comparison. This work demonstrates that a novel hybrid coating layer has the potential to improve the stability of commercial Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal is considered a next-generation anode material for high-voltage, high-energy-density batteries; however, its commercialization is limited because of dendrite formation during charging, which leads to short-circuiting and fire. Li metal is coated with a lithium zeolite Li2(Al2Si4O12) (bikitaite - BKT) for dendrite suppression. The BKT-coated Li metal anode exhibits enhanced cycle performance for both Li/LMO (over 982 cycles) and Li/Li cells (over 2000 h at 0.52.0 mAh cm-2 and 693 h at 2.0 mAh cm-2). Moreover, the voltage profile of the Li/Li cells deviates from the conventional Li plating behavior. We hypothesize that this is due to the Li wetting of the BKT particles during plating, which leads to the formation of an interconnected three-dimensional (3D) Li network. Furthermore, BKT, a Li conductor, promotes even Li+-ion distribution during plating, resulting in the uniform deposition of Li and, consequently, suppressed dendrite formation. This work provides evidence that BKT can be potentially used in Li metal batteries.

Abstract
In order to study the effect of interfacial wettability of separator on electrochemical properties for lithium-ion batteries, two different kinds of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) solution are prepared and used to coat onto a polypropylene (PP) microporous membrane. It is found that the cell performance of a coated separator using aqueous slurry (WPS) is better than that of the coated separator using acetone (APS) as the solvent. The separator with flat and pyknotic surface (PP and APS) has a strong polar action with the electrolyte, where the polar part is more than 80%. To the contrary, the WPS has a roughness surface and when the PVDF-HFP particles accumulate loose, it makes the apolar part plays a dominate role in surface free energy; the dispersive energy reaches to 40.17 mJ m-2. The WPS has the lowest immersion free energy, 31.9 mJ m-2 with the electrolyte, and this will accelerate electrolyte infiltration to the separator. The loose particle accumulation also increases the electrolyte weight uptake and interfacial wettability velocity, which plays a crucial role in improving the cell performance such as the ionic conductivity, discharge capacity and the C-rate capability.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage devices for integrating renewable resources and high power applications, owing to their high energy density, light weight, high flexibility, slow self-discharge rate, high rate charging capability, and long battery life. LIBs work efficiently at ambient temperatures, however, at high-temperatures, they cause serious issues due to the thermal fluctuation inside batteries during operation. The separator is a key component of batteries and is crucial for the sustainability of LIBs at high-temperatures. The high thermal stability with minimum thermal shrinkage and robust mechanical strength are the prime requirements along with high porosity, ionic conductivity, and electrolyte uptake for highly efficient high-temperature LIBs. This Review deals with the recent studies and developments in separator technologies for high-temperature LIBs with respect to their structural layered formation. The recent progress in monolayer and multilayer separators along with the developed preparation methodologies is discussed in detail. Future challenges and directions toward the advancement in separator technology are also discussed for achieving remarkable performance of separators in a high-temperature environment.

Abstract
The separator membrane is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries, separating the anode and cathode, and controlling the number and mobility of the lithium ions. Among the polymer matrices most commonly investigated for battery separators are poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), and poly(vinylidene fluoride-cochlorotrifluoroethylene) (PVDF-CTFE), due to their excellent properties such as high polarity and the possibility of controlling the porosity of the materials through binary and ternary polymer/solvent systems, among others. This review presents the recent advances on battery separators based on PVDF and its copolymers for lithium-ion batteries. It is divided into the following sections: single polymer and co-polymers, surface modification, composites, and polymer blends. Further, a critical comparison between those membranes and other separator membranes is presented, as well as the future trends on this area.
