Abstract

Composites of inorganic lithium ion conducting glass ceramics (LICGCs) and organic polymers may provide the best combination of properties for safe solid separators in lithium or lithium ion batteries to replace the currently used volatile liquid electrolytes. A key problem for their use is the high interfacial resistance that develops between the two, increasing the total cell impedance. Here we show that the application of a thin conformal SiO2 coating onto a LICGC followed by silanization with (CH3CH2O)3
