    摘要: A method for drying and purifying a lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt in solution in an organic solvent S1, the method including the following steps: a) adding deionised water to dissolve and extract the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt, forming an aqueous solution of the salt; b) extracting the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt from the aqueous solution, using an organic solvent S2, the step being repeated at least once; c) concentrating the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt by evaporating the organic solvent S2 and the water, in a short-path thin-film evaporator, under the following conditions: temperature of 30° C. to 95° C., pressure of 10−3 mbar abs to 5 mbar abs, residence time no longer than 15 min; and d) optionally crystallising the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt. Also, a composition made of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt, and the uses thereof in Li-ion batteries.

    摘要: The invention relates to integrated electrode separators (IES), and their use in lithium ion batteries as replacements for free standing separators. The IES results from coating an electrode with a fluoropolymer aqueous-based emulsion or suspension, and drying the coating to produce a tough, porous separator layer on the electrodes. The aqueous fluoropolymer coating may optionally contain dispersed inorganic particles and other additives to improve electrode performance such as higher ionic conduction or higher temperature use. The IES provides several advantages, including a thinner, more uniform separator layer, and the elimination of a separate battery component (separator membrane) for a simpler and cost-saving manufacturing process. The aqueous separator coating can be used in combination with a solvent cast electrode as well as an aqueous cast electrode either in two separate process steps, or in a one-step process.
