Abstract:
Provided herein are a variety of porous separator materials, particularly those prepared by gas-assisted electrospray and electrospinning processes.

Claim (Index 16):
A process for manufacturing a battery separator, the process comprising:\n a. providing a fluid stock, the fluid stock comprising a polymer, a liquid medium, and a ceramic precursor; b. providing the fluid stock to a first inlet of a first conduit of a nozzle apparatus, the first conduit being enclosed along the length of the first conduit by a first wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the first conduit having a first outlet; c. providing a pressurized gas to a second inlet of a second conduit of the nozzle apparatus, the second conduit being enclosed along the length of the second conduit by a second wall having an interior surface, the second conduit having a second outlet, and at least a portion of the second conduit being positioned along and/or in at least partially surrounding relation to the first conduit, whereby a high velocity gas is provided at the second outlet, the high velocity gas having a velocity of at least 0.05 m/s; d. providing a voltage to the nozzle apparatus; and e. collecting a membrane composition on a substrate, the battery separator comprising a thin film porous membrane; the battery separator comprising a polymer and a continuous matrix of ceramic; the battery separator comprising a first surface and a second surface, the continuous matrix of ceramic coating at least 50% of the first surface of the battery separator by area (excluding pores); and the battery separator having a porosity of about 10% to about 70% and an average thickness of about 1 micron to about 25 micron.
