COATING MATERIAL FOR ELECTRODES

Methods for coating electrodes, particularly anodes, more particularly lithium anodes in batteries. The coating material obtained by the methods, involves the ring-opening polymerization of dioxolane (DOL) monomers in presence of suitable polymerization initiators, crosslinkers and optional further additives. The so-obtained coating material displays advantageous features such as fast lithium ions diffusion and high conductivity, high elastic modulus blocking dendrite formation, high flexibility, scalability, controllable thickness of the coating material and homogeneity on the anode surface. The corresponding electrochemical cells and/or batteries comprising the coating material, are characterized by improved stability during the cell/battery cycling.
