Latest Patents

Liao is named on the patent “Battery Separator and Coating Process Thereof, Coating System and Battery.” The invention concerns a coating process for a polyolefin membrane used as a lithium-battery separator. The process combines initial heat setting, online coating, and subsequent heat setting of the coated membrane.

The disclosed coating system places a coating apparatus between adjacent drying ovens along the membrane’s heat-setting route. By applying the coating before the membrane’s heat-setting process is complete, the system can use heat from the ovens to dry both the polyolefin base membrane and the coating slurry. This approach integrates coating with membrane processing and is intended to support efficient separator production.
