  • SURFACE COATED POROUS SUBSTRATES AND PARTICLES AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220131125
    Abstract: In an aspect, a functional, a conformal surface layer coating on an internal surface of pores of a porous substrate may be formed via exposure to gas streams of precursor molecules in an atomic-layer deposition (ALD) reactor. In another aspect, a functional surface layer coating on particles of a powder (or particle powder) may be formed via exposure to gas streams of precursor molecules in an ALD reactor. In another aspect, an ALD reactor system may be configured with mechanisms for supplying gas streams of precursor molecules to form the conformal surface layer(s). In another aspect, the porous electrode(s) and/or particle(s) with the conformal surface coating(s) may be made part of a Li-ion battery cell, which in turn be made part of a Li-ion battery module or Li-ion battery pack.
