Abstract: A method for coating a separator for a battery includes creating an electrostatic field and disposing a substrate material within the electrostatic field. The method further includes applying a coating material to the substrate material in a presence of the electrostatic field and drying the coating material upon the substrate material.

Abstract: A method of applying a homogenous film coating to a constituent particle of component includes setting up a target element in a sputtering chamber. The method also includes arranging a receptacle in the sputtering chamber. The method additionally includes arranging the constituent particle on the receptacle. The method also includes bombarding the target element via energetic particles to eject material from the target element and deposit the material onto the constituent particle. The method further includes agitating the receptacle during the bombarding to apply the material to the constituent particle as the homogenous film coating. The method may be used to apply a homogenous thin film coating to a sulfur-infused constituent particle for a sulfur cathode in a lithium-sulfur battery.
