Ultratenké homogénne povrchové vrstvy na štruktúrach komplexnej morfológie pre vylepšenie výkonu batérii využitím depozície po atómových vrstvách
Ultra-thin conformal surface coatings of complex-morphology structures for improving battery performance using atomic layer deposition
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Ing. Hudec Boris, PhD.
Annotation: Project is focused on the development and optimization of method of 3D deposition of conformal ultra-thincoatings using ALD (atomic layer deposition) on structures of complex morphology, such as micro-porous layersand powders. The method will subsequently be applied in preparation of new generation Li-based batteries, bypassivation and modification of micro-porous surfaces of cathode layers. Effect of ultra-thin ALD coatingsconformality at the nano-scale will be systematically evaluated by correlation of electron microscopy analyseswith electrochemical measurements of prepared batteries. Next step will be the modification of surfaces ofdiscrete metal and ceramic micro-particles and powders with the aim of their subsequent application in fabrication of novel ceramic and metal materials and also new materials for experimental battery electrodes.
