Summary: | Waterborne spontaneous and robust coating of the catechol-functionalized polyoctahedral silsesquioxane (CA-POSS) is studied on the surface of hydrophobic surfaces as a model organic-inorganic hybrid material was synthesized at room temperature, which readily produces an instant thin layer coating on the hydrophobic substrates such as mica film and polyethylene (PE) separator. The CA-POSS instantly forms nano-scale level coating with robust adhesion upon contact with the substrate surfaces in a basic aqueous medium at ambient conditions, unlike common coating methods that use prepared POSS particle dispersion. The surface roughness on the CA-POSS coated PE separator (PE-CAP) and mica was observed in AFM analysis. The PE-CAP separator showed highly enhanced hydrophilicity, electrolyte wettability, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. The PE-CAP separator is studied in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using LiCoO2 cathode and Lithium metal anode has shown the highest specific capacity of ~171.3 mAh g−1 with capacity retention of ~99 % after 100 cycles in comparison to pristine PE separator (~159.4 mAh g−1, 92 %).

•Organic-inorganic hybrid solution type POSS (CA-POSS) is designed and synthesized.•CA-POSS solution rapidly forms POSS nanoparticles on any substrate in quick time.•The POSS particles formed on the PE separator (PE-CAP) showed a robust adhesion.•PE-CAP membranes are applied as separators in lithium ion batteries (LIBs).•PE-CAP separators excelled in cycling stability and capacity retention more than PE. |
