摘要：

In this study, we developed an integrative bioinspired approach that improves the power and safety of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) by the surface modification of polyethylene (PE) separators. The approach involves the synthesis of a diatom-inspired silica layer on the surface of the PE separator, and the adhesion of the silica layer was inspired by mussels. The mussel- and diatom-inspired silica coating increased the electrolyte wettability of the separator, resulting in enhanced power and improved thermal shrinkage, resulting safer LIBs. Furthermore, the overall processes are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The process described herein is the first example of the use of diatom-inspired silica in practically important energy storage applications. The improved wetting and thermal properties are critical, particularly for large-scale battery applications.
