Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Cross-references to related applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 510,978, filed on 29 June 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. [Background technology]

[0002] Over the past several decades, lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion batteries) have developed as the dominant high-energy chemistry due to their unparalleled high energy density while maintaining high output and cycleability at an acceptable price. However, the energy density of currently available Li-ion battery chemistry is approaching the theoretical limits of the technology, while the rapid trend toward electrification of the transportation and energy industries is increasing the demand for batteries with higher energy density at lower unit costs. In fact, there is a need for batteries with improved capacity, longer cycle life, and high stability. Replacing the graphite anode in Li-ions with a lithium metal anode offers an opportunity to significantly increase the energy density of lithium batteries. However, after repeated charge-discharge cycles, lithium metal batteries suffer irreversible capacity loss caused by electrolyte depletion and loss of lithium stock due to parasitic reactivity between the highly reactive lithium metal anode and the electrolyte component. This process contributes to localized heterogeneity on the lithium anode surface, further propagating uneven plating and delamination, resulting in physically isolated "dead" lithium. Furthermore, uneven lithium plating increases the risk of dendritic crystal formation, potentially leading to thermal runaway and catastrophic cell failure, posing a significant obstacle to the commercialization of lithium metal batteries. Mitigating dendritic crystal formation in lithium metal batteries is crucial for their safe and stable use in commercial applications.

[0003] The battery separator is a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, separating electrodes, transporting ions through large pores filled with electrolyte, and insulating against electronic conductivity that would otherwise induce short circuits. While separators do not directly participate in cell reactions, their physical properties play a vital role in determining battery performance, including energy density, power density, and safety. Importantly, the mechanical integrity of the separator throughout the entire lifespan of the battery cell is critical to preventing internal short circuits.

[0004] Currently, several porous membrane separator materials and composites are used in lithium-ion batteries, including separators made from polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polypropylene-polyethylene-polypropylene (PP / PE / PP), and ceramic-coated separators containing PP, PE, or multilayer porous substrates having at least one surface coated with a ceramic composite layer. As described in U.S. Patent No. 6,432,583 (Celgard Inc.), the ceramic composite layer is intended to inhibit dendritic crystal growth and prevent electron short circuits. While ceramic-coated separators have been successfully used in lithium-ion batteries to improve mechanical properties, their usefulness is limited in lithium metal batteries due to parasitic reactions induced at the anode by the binding material hosting the ceramic coating.

[0005] International Publication No. 2018 / 106957 (Sepion Technologies, Inc. et al.) describes the application of a porous polymer (10-40% porosity, 0.5-2.0 nm pores) as a template for delivering a solution-treated precursor of a solid-state halide-containing salt as a conformal coating between the Li metal surface and the separator surface to increase the wettability of the separator and increase the concentration and mobility of Li ions at the separator-anode interface. The document also describes an electrochemical cell including a separator comprising several layers, such as a first polymer layer containing planar seeds and a linker. The separator may also include a porous support made of PP or PE laminated onto the first polymer layer. The separator may also include a second film layer laminated onto the porous support, such a second layer comprising a ceramic material.

[0006] The use of intrinsically microporous polymers (PIMs) as selective battery membranes has been studied. PIMs consist of condensed rings that provide rigid and torsional regions, which may be provided by spirocenters, bent or bridged ring portions, or similar structural components that act as barriers preventing conformational relaxation of polymer chains. PIMs have been described and studied since 2006 because they create a continuous network of interconnected voids that can be used as gas separation membranes, hydrogen storage materials, adsorbents, and heterogeneous catalysts. The intrinsic microporosity of PIMs is defined as a continuous network of interconnected intermolecular voids formed as a direct result of the shape and rigidity of the component polymers. Notably, the paper by Li et al. (Nano Lett. 2015, 15, 5724-5729) describes the use of PIMs as a membrane platform to achieve high-flux ion-selective transport in non-aqueous electrolytes.

[0007] Because lithium metal is highly reactive, a solid electrolyte interface phase (SEI) is formed at the interface between the electrode and the adjacent electrolyte-filled separator. The composition and morphology of the SEI affect the performance of the electrochemical cell. On the one hand, the consumption of some lithium stock inherent in the in-situ SEI formation process reduces the Coulombic efficiency of the electrochemical cell. On the other hand, an optimal SEI limits further decomposition of electrolyte components, improves lithium ion transport at the electrode-separator interface, and improves the battery's cycle performance and lifespan.

[0008] Artificial SEI layers have been studied to limit the depletion process of lithium stock and electrolyte components on the surface of anode materials. One method is based on the use of a layer of PIM coated on a porous support. In particular, International Publication No. 2020 / 037246(A1) (The Regents of the University of California) describes a microporous ladder polymer represented by formula -[A-AB-B], comprising amine-functionalized monomer segments, amidooxime-functionalized monomer segments, or combinations thereof, and such a microporous polymer is used in separators which may include one or more support materials such as glass fibers. Examples describe thin films of microporous polymers on porous supports such as polyolefin battery separators (e.g., Celgard). A paper by Chengyin Fu et al. (Nature Materials, April 2020) describes a lithium electrode in which a TBAF@PIM-1 coated polyolefin separator, i.e., a separator coated with a microporous polymer host (e.g., PIM-1) in combination with a separator (Celgard 2325), is laminated together with the separator. The coated separator is then assembled into either a Li-Li or Li-NMC-622 cell with a carbonate electrolyte containing an ionizable lithium salt (e.g., LiPF6). The composite is described as acting as a dendritic crystal suppression solid ion conductor (SIC) in lithium metal batteries. What is needed is a novel polymer for the separator coating. Surprisingly, the present invention meets this and other requirements. [Overview of the project]

[0102] III. Covered Separator In some embodiments, the present invention provides a coated separator comprising a porous membrane support and a membrane layer on the porous membrane support containing the copolymer of the present invention.

[0103] Figure 2A shows a coated separator 100 having a porous support 110 having a first surface 111 and a second opposite surface 112, and a copolymer layer 130.

[0104] The separator may contain the polymer of the present invention alone or in combination with other components. In some embodiments, the present invention is A porous support having a first surface and a second opposite surface, A first polymer layer, and Copolymer layer containing the copolymer of the present invention A multilayer coated separator comprising, The present invention provides a multilayer coated separator in which a first polymer layer is coated on a first surface of a porous support, and a copolymer layer is coated on top of the first polymer layer.

[0105] Figure 2B shows a multilayer coated separator 150 having a porous support 110 having a first surface 111 and a second opposite surface 112, a first polymer layer 120, and a copolymer layer 130.

[0106] porous support In some embodiments, the pore size of the porous support is about 0.01 micrometers to 5 micrometers, or more specifically about 0.02 micrometers to 0.5 micrometers. The porosity of the porous support may be about 20% to 85%, or more specifically about 30% to 60%. Those skilled in the art will understand that the pore size may be affected by the composition of the electrolyte supplied into the pores of the separator. For example, some components of the separator (e.g., the porous support or the first polymer layer) may swell and change their pore size when in contact with some material of the electrolyte. Unless otherwise specified, pore size and other similar parameters refer to the components of the separator before contact with the electrolyte.

[0107] Larger pore sizes allow for the use of a porous support much thicker than the first polymer layer without significantly impairing the overall permeability of the separator to the first species. In some embodiments, the thickness of the porous support is about 5 to 500 micrometers, or in certain embodiments, about 5 to 50 micrometers, or more specifically, about 10 to 30 micrometers. In the same or other embodiments, the thickness of the porous support may be about 1 to 50 times greater than the thickness of the first polymer layer, or more specifically, about 5 to 25 times greater.

[0108] Some examples of suitable materials for porous supports include poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene (PETFE) and poly(ethylene chloro-co-trifluoroethylene) (e.g., fabrics woven from these, used alone or laminated with fluoropolymer microporous films), polyvinylidene difluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polystyrene, polyaryl ethersulfone, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene (including LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene), polyamide, polyimide, polyacrylic, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polyester, polyetherimide, polyimide, polyketone, polyphenylene ether, polyphenylene sulfide, polymethylpentene, and polysulfone. Examples of porous supports include, but are not limited to, nonwoven glass, glass fiber materials, ceramics, metal oxides, organic and inorganic composites, and polypropylene films. Porous supports may also be supplied with additional coatings of a second suitable material, including, but not limited to, PTFV, PVDF, and PETFE. These examples of porous supports are manufactured under the name CELGARD® by Celanese Plastic Company, Inc. (Charlotte, North Carolina, USA), as well as by Asahi Kasei Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), Tonen Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), Ube Industries, Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), Nitto Denko Corporation (Osaka, Japan), Nippon Kodo Paper Industries Co., Ltd. (Kochi, Japan), Entek (Lebanon, Oregon, USA), SK Innovation (Jongno-gu, South Korea), Sumitomo Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), Toray Industries, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan), and DuPont USA. It may or may not be available from Double Scope, Inc. (USA) (Wilmington, Delaware), Japan, and Parker Hannifin Filtration Group (Carson, California, USA).

[0109] In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the porous support comprises polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), cellulose, ceramic, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the porous support comprises polyethylene.

[0110] The porous support may have a thickness of approximately 3 to 200 micrometers, or approximately 5 to 100 micrometers, or approximately 10 to 50 micrometers, or approximately 9 to 25 micrometers, or approximately 10 to 20 micrometers, or more specifically approximately 15 to 30 micrometers. The porous support may have a thickness of approximately 5 micrometers, or approximately 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or approximately 20 micrometers.

[0111] First polymer layer The selective blocking properties of one or more polymer layers used in a separator stem from the composition of these layers or a specific pore structure. For the purposes of this disclosure, the term “blocking” is also referred to as screening, selection, or exclusion. In some embodiments, the pore structure of the polymer layers appears as a network of interconnected pores having small pore size, a narrow pore size distribution, a high surface area, and high porosity, as further described below. In some embodiments, the pore structure of the polymer layers appears as an array of channels having small pore size, a narrow pore size distribution, a high surface area, and high porosity, as further described below. In addition to these blocking properties, the first polymer layers have a variety of other properties that make them suitable for electrochemical cell applications, such as chemical and electrochemical stability, wettability, thickness, and thermal stability.

[0112] The blocking mechanism is based on chemical exclusion (non-wettability) or size exclusion effects occurring on a nanometer to sub-nanometer scale (winding ion penetration pathways are established within the polymer layer). For example, the polymer layer may allow Li ions (or other similar species described below) to pass through while blocking larger electrolytes such as solvents. The membrane may be formed from a ladder polymer having angled spirocenters and no rotatable bonds in the polymer backbone, or bonds in the backbone where the rotation of the bonds is restricted. These features provide an inefficient solid dense packing with a porosity of about 10% to 40% of the bulk powder, or more specifically about 20% to 30%. The pores may then be filled with inorganic components to leave a non-porous or partially porous polymer layer.

[0113] The first polymer layer may contain any suitable polymer. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the first polymer layer is substantially insoluble in the carbonate electrolyte. Typical carbonate electrolytes are described herein. For example, the first polymer layer may be more than 50% insoluble in the carbonate electrolyte, or more than 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or more than 99% insoluble in the carbonate electrolyte.

[0114] In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the first polymer layer is substantially insoluble in an electrolyte containing one or more lithium salts. Typical electrolytes containing one or more lithium salts are described herein. For example, the first polymer layer may be more than 50% insoluble in an electrolyte containing one or more lithium salts, or more than 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or more than 99% insoluble in an electrolyte containing one or more lithium salts.

[0115] The first polymer layer may include one or more different polymer layers. For example, the first polymer layer may include the first polymer layer, the second polymer layer, or more polymer layers. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the first polymer layer comprises polyacrylonitrile, poly(acrylonitrile-methyl acrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-co-methacrylic acid), poly(acrylonitrile-acrylic acid), poly(acrylonitrile-itaconic acid), poly(acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-itaconic acid-methyl acrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-methacrylic acid-methyl acrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-vinylpyridine), poly(acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride), poly(acrylonitrile-vinyl acetate), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), a second intrinsically microporous polymer different from the first intrinsically microporous polymer, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the first polymer layer comprises poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), a second intrinsically microporous polymer different from the first intrinsically microporous polymer, or a combination thereof.

[0116] PIM polymer layer Examples of intrinsically microporous polymers useful for the electrochemical devices of the present invention include those described in U.S. Patent No. 10,710,065 and U.S. Patent No. 11,394,082, U.S. Patent Publication No. 2021 / 0309802 and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2019 / 0326578 (each of which is incorporated herein by reference in whole). In some embodiments, the copolymer layer is the copolymer of the present invention.

[0117] High free volume and microporosity are required to achieve the extremely high ion transport necessary for fast charging and high-power applications. Polymers exhibiting these properties are so-called high free volume polymers. These high-permeability polymers have been primarily applied to gas separation. Some examples include certain substituted polyacetylenes (e.g., PTMSP), certain perfluoropolymers (e.g., Teflon® AF), certain poly(norbornene), intrinsically microporous polymers, and certain polyimides. Their microporosity has been demonstrated by molecular modeling and positron lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). High-permeability polyacetylenes have bulky side chain groups that suppress conformational changes and force the backbone into a twisted shape. These rigid polymer polymers cannot be properly densely packed in the solid state, resulting in high free volume. The free volume distribution includes cleaved elements, such as in glassy polymers, and continuous fine voids. In Teflon® perfluoropolymers, their high free volume, coupled with a high barrier to rotation between adjacent dioxolane rings, leads to low packing density and therefore high permeability due to the weak interchain interactions well-known in fluoropolymers. In the case of poly(norvolene) and PTMSPs, the presence of bulky trimethylsilyl groups on the ring significantly limits the degree of freedom of the polymer to undergo steric changes. In inherently microporous polymers (PIMs), molecular linkers containing twist points are held in a non-coplanar orientation by rigid molecules, preventing the resulting polymer from being close-packed and ensuring high microporosity. The concept of PIMs has been reported for polyimides [PM Budd and NB McKeown, “Highly permeable polymers for gas separation membranes,” Polymer Chemistry, 1, 63-68, 2010].

[0118] PIMs are classified into two distinct types: i) non-network (linear) polymers, which may be soluble in organic solvents, and ii) network polymers, which are generally insoluble, although this also depends on the choice of monomers. PIMs possess an internal molecular free volume (IMFV), which is a measure of concavity and is defined by Swager as the difference in volume of concave units compared to non-concave shapes [TM Long and TM Swager, “Minimization of Free Volume: Alignment of Triptycenes in Liquid Crystals and Stretched Polymers”, Adv. Mater, 13, 8, 601-604, 2001]. While the intrinsic microporosity in linear PIMs is argued to derive from impermeable concavities given by their twisted structure, in network PIMs, the microporosity is also argued to derive from concavities associated with macrorings. In non-network PIMs, rotation of single bonds must be avoided, but branching and crosslinking in network PIMs are thought to avoid structural rearrangement that may result in a loss of microporosity (McKeown, 2010), and therefore single bonds can exist without a loss of microporosity. In general, network PIMs have been observed to have greater microporosity than non-network PIMs due to their macrocyclization [NB McKeown, PM Budd, “Exploitation of Intrinsic Microporosity in Polymer-Based Materials”, Macromolecules, 43, 5163-5176, 2010]. However, conventional network PIMs are not soluble and can only be incorporated into membranes when mixed as a filler with soluble PIMs or other microporous soluble materials containing soluble polymers. In non-network PIMs, there is a strict requirement that there should be no single bonds in the polymer backbone in order to prevent rotational freedom and provide intrinsic microporosity. This requires a highly rigid and twisted molecular structure, resulting in a difficult-to-handle polymer shape that cannot be efficiently packed tightly in space.Molecules with unwieldy shapes are those that cause packing problems due to their concave surfaces. However, concave-shaped molecules are not sufficient because, in order to give non-network PIMs microporosity, the voids must be sufficiently interconnected so that transport occurs with minimal energy (i.e., intrinsic microporosity) [NB McKeown, PM Budd, “Exploitation of Intrinsic Microporosity in Polymer-Based Materials”, Macromolecules, 43, 5163-5176, 2010]. Non-network PIMs may be soluble and therefore suitable for use in casting films by phase inversion or for coating support films to create thin-film composites. However, their solubility in various solvents limits their application to organic solvent nanofiltration [Ulbricht M, Advanced functional polymer membranes, Single Chain Polymers, 47, 2217-2262, 2006].

[0119] U.S. Patent No. 7,690,514 (B2) describes an intrinsically microporous material comprising an organic polymer consisting of a first generally planar species linked by linkers having a twist point, such that two adjacent first planar species linked by linkers are held in a non-coplanar orientation. Preferred twist points are spiro groups, bridged ring portions and sterically crowded bonds around them in which rotation is restricted. Since these non-network PIMs may be soluble in common organic solvents, it is possible to cast them into films or coat them over other support films to produce thin-film composites.

[0120] PIM-1 (soluble PIM) membranes exhibit gas permeability exceeding only very high free volume polymers such as Teflon® AF2400 and PTMSP, and show selectivity exceeding Robeson's 1991 upper limit for gas pairs such as CO2 / CH4 and O2 / N2. Studies have shown that permeability is improved by methanol treatment, which helps wash out residual casting solvent and allows for chain relaxation [PM Budd and NB McKeown, D Fritsch, “Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs): High free volume Polymers for membrane applications”, Macromol Symp, 245-246, 403-405, 2006].

[0121] Various polyimides with properties similar to microporous polymers (PIMs) were prepared by Ghanem et al., and membrane gas permeation experiments showed that these PIM-polyimides were the most permeable of all polyimides and had near-upper selectivity for several important gas pairs [BG Ghanem, NB McKeown, PM Budd, NM Al-Harbi, D Fritsch, K Heinrich, L Starannikova, A Tokarev and Y Yampolskii, “Synthesis, characterization, and gas permeation properties of a novel group of polymers with intrinsic microporosity: PIM-polyimides”, Macromolecules, 42, 7781–7888, 2009].

[0122] U.S. Patent No. 7,410,525 (B1) describes a polymer / polymer mixed matrix membrane containing a soluble, intrinsically microporous polymer as a microporous packing material for use in gas separation applications.

[0123] International Publication No. 2005 / 113121 (PCT / GB2005 / 002028) describes the formation of thin-film composite materials from PIM by coating a PIM organic solvent solution onto a support film and then, optionally, crosslinking the PIM film to enhance its stability in organic solvents.

[0124] To improve the stability of soluble PIM membranes, U.S. Patent No. 7,758,751 (B1) describes high-performance UV crosslinked membranes from intrinsically microporous polymers (PIMs), as well as their use in gas separation, liquid separation including organic solvents such as olefins / paraffins, deep desulfurization of gasoline and diesel fuels, and ethanol / water separation.

[0125] In some embodiments, the copolymer layer comprises a polymer having chains of repeating units bonded to one another. Each unit may include a first substantially planar species that contains at least one aromatic ring and also includes a rigid linker having a spiro group, a bridged ring moiety, or a twisted portion which is a sterically crowded single covalent bond. The rigid linker restricts the rotation of the first planar species in a non-coplanar orientation. In some embodiments, at least 50 mol% (or 70%, 80%, or even 90%) of the first planar species in the chain are connected by rigid linkers to up to two other planar species so as not to have a crosslinked covalent three-dimensional structure. Thus, the polymer may include rigid linkers having twisted portions. Since these polymer chains are not densely packed together due to their rigid twisted structure, the copolymer layer has inherent microporosity and possibly nanoporosity. Thus, this combination of non-dense-packed and non-crosslinked polymer chains extends in the three-dimensional direction. It may also be considered a non-network polymer. Cross-linked polymers are also within the range.

[0126] In some embodiments, the surface area of ​​the PIM polymer layer before filling with inorganic components (measured by nitrogen adsorption of the dry powder before film treatment or by related techniques) is at least 200 m². 2 / g or at least 500m 2 / g, for example 200m 2 / g~2200m 2 / g, or more specifically 600m 2 / g~900m 2 It may also be / g. A typical method for measuring surface area is nitrogen adsorption BET. Surface area is directly related to porosity and is essential for efficient transport of the supporting electrolyte between electrodes and for the operation of higher-power cells. Typical porosity is in the range of 20% to 70%, or more specifically, 30% to 60%. The surface area of ​​the PIM polymer layer is 100m² 2 / g, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, or 3000m 2 The concentration can be 100 m / g to 3000 m / g, for example. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator has a copolymer layer that is measured by nitrogen adsorption BET and is 100 m 2 / g~3000m 2 This is a separator with a surface area of ​​ / g.

[0127] In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the average pore size of the copolymer layer before the inorganic component is filled is less than 100 nm, or about 0.1 nm to about 20 nm, or about 0.1 nm to about 10 nm, or about 0.1 nm to about 5 nm, or about 0.1 nm to about 2 nm, or about 0.1 nm to about 1 nm. For example, the average pore size of the copolymer layer can be less than about 10 nm, or about 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 nm. For example, the average pore size of the copolymer layer can be about 10 nm, or about 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 nm. This pore size ensures that some substances (e.g., substances with a unit size larger than the pore size) are blocked by the copolymer layer, while other substances (e.g., substances with a smaller unit size) are allowed to pass through. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the copolymer layer has an average pore size of 0.1 nm to 10 nm. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the copolymer layer has an average pore size of 0.1 nm to 2 nm. In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the copolymer layer has an average pore size of 0.1 nm to 1 nm.

[0128] In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator has a number-average molecular weight (M) of the copolymer layer. n ) is 1 × 10 3 ~2000×10 3 kg / mol, or more specifically 15 × 10⁻⁶ 3 ~500×10 3 kg / mol, or 20 × 10 3 ~200×10 3 The separator has a molecular weight of kg / mol. Polymers with a larger number-average molecular weight contribute to enhancing the mechanical properties of the formed film.

[0129] The copolymer layer can be a film cast, sprayed, or coated from a solution (e.g., onto a porous support), a composite material composed of multiple individual film layers, a self-supporting film, or a film supported (e.g., by a porous support).

[0130] In some embodiments, the multilayer coated separator is a separator in which the copolymer layer has a thickness of about 5 nanometers to 20 micrometers, or about 100 nanometers to 10 micrometers, or more specifically about 500 nanometers to 5 micrometers.

[0131] The microporosity of the polymer layer was measured using nitrogen adsorption measurement (BET calculation) and its high surface area (approximately 680-850 m²) 2 This is demonstrated by / g). The presence of cyano and methyl groups is optional; they may be omitted or substituted with other simple substituents. Each phenyl group may contain one or more substituents. Furthermore, the nature and arrangement of substituents on the spiro-indan moiety may be chosen to provide any desired configuration around the carbon atom common to both five-membered rings.

[0198] Research on dissolution in lithium-ion electrolytes: In a dilute liquid electrolyte lithium-ion battery cell design with a 1 μm coating layer across the entire surface of the battery separator and an electrolyte-to-cathode nominal capacity ratio of approximately 2 g / Ah, the ratio of polymer material to total liquid electrolyte content is approximately 14 mg polymer / mL lithium-ion electrolyte. Therefore, to measure the intrinsic solubility of various homopolymer and copolymer formulations in lithium-ion battery electrolytes, 14 mg / mL mixtures of each polymer were prepared in a representative lithium-ion battery electrolyte (E1). The solutions were vigorously stirred for 24 hours, filtered by syringe to remove undissolved polymer fractions, and then diluted six-fold with additional E1 for spectroscopic analysis. The total content of dissolved polymer in each sample was measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Table 1 shows copolymers exhibiting decreased solubility compared to PIM-13, indicating complete solubility in E1 at this concentration. By adjusting the PIM-1 monomer content, copolymer solubility can be reduced to undetectable concentrations. [Table 3]

[0199] Research on high-dilution dissolution in lithium-ion electrolytes: 1 g / m 2 Polyethylene battery separators coated with copolymer at a film weight were punched out to a diameter of 14 mm and immersed in an excess volume (1 mL) of E1, E2, or LP57 electrolyte for 24 hours. The solution was then observed for evidence of polymer dissolution, indicated by the yellow color of the solution. The results were classified into three categories. Nearly complete dissolution of the coating (A) A yellow color is observed in the electrolyte solution, but the coating remains intact (B). No discoloration of the solution (C) [Table 4]
