Composite coating for electrochemical electrode and method

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5744485

A coated electrode is described which is capable of electrochemically releasing an active species to a nonaqueous electrolyte in an electrochemically cell. It comprises: an electrode body comprising active species material; and a composite coating over the electrode body comprising a non-metallic, inorganic, ionically conductive active species layer forming a coating over the electrode body for reducing passivation of the electrode body. The active species layer comprises the active species material present in the electrode body, at least one electronegative element selected from the group consisting of fluorine, iodine, bromine, chlorine, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen and at least one amphoteric element and a polymer layer over the inorganic layer for maintaining the mechanical integrity of the inorganic layer.
