“…Considering their vital role in high performance LIBs, tremendous efforts have been devoted on them, either on thermal stability improvement (Mohanty et al, 2016;Jiang et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2017aLiu et al, , 2018bLi et al, 2018b), or ion transport capability enhancement (low MacMullin number, N m ) (Jayaraman and Schweizer, 2009;Dahbi et al, 2012;Kirchhofer et al, 2014;Keyser et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2018). With the respect of safety performance, many works concentrated on ceramic coating (Mohanty et al, 2016;Shi et al, 2016;Jiang et al, 2017) or polymer matrix optimization (Jayaraman and Schweizer, 2009;Liu et al, 2017aLiu et al, , 2018bLi et al, 2018b). Micro or nano sized Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 are believed to be the optimal candidates for ceramic coating, not only for their thermal stability, HF scavenging ability, but also for their ease of mass production.…”
