The invention discloses a
dopamine-modifying
ceramic composite separator and an application thereof. The
dopamine-modifying
ceramic composite separator comprises an organic separator base material and a
ceramic layer arranged on the surface of the separator base material in a coated mode, wherein the thickness of the ceramic layer ranges from 0.1
micrometer to 20 micrometers. The
dopamine-modifying
ceramic composite separator further comprises dopamine polymers grown on the surfaces and the interiors of the separator base material and the ceramic layer in an in-situ mode. The dopamine polymers are copolymers of polydopamine or 5-hydroxy- polydopamine or polydopamine
acrylamide and polydopamine
acrylamide. The particle size of inorganic
powder in the ceramic layer ranges from 5 nanometers to 10 micrometers. The molecular weight of materials of the organic separator base material ranges from 1,000 to 100,000,000. According to the dopamine-modifying
ceramic composite separator, due to the dopamine polymers, potential safety hazards caused by
powder falling and liquid leaking of the ceramic layer can be effectively reduced, and the
physical performance and the electrochemical performance of the separator are effectively improved; meanwhile, due to the dopamine polymers, the stability of an interface between separator
electrolysis and an
electrode can be improved,
lithium dendrites can be effectively suppressed through the improvement of the stability of the interface, and therefore the capacity holding capacity of a battery can be easily improved.
