Abstract:
A lithium (Li) ion battery includes a first electrode with a second electrode, and a shutdown polymer additive on an outer surface of the first electrode. The shutdown polymer additive includes at least two polyethylene layers, each polyethylene layer comprising a plurality of polyethylene microspheres. Each polyethylene microsphere is wrapped with carbon nanotubes. The polyethylene microspheres interconnect with each other such that the carbon nanotubes form a conductive network. The polyethylene layers are provided at predetermined areas of the outer surface of the first electrode.

Claim (Index 1):
A lithium (Li) ion battery comprising:\n a first electrode with a second electrode; and a shutdown polymer additive on an outer surface of the first electrode, the shutdown polymer additive comprising:\n at least two polyethylene layers, each polyethylene layer comprising a plurality of polyethylene microspheres, \n wherein each of the polyethylene microspheres is wrapped with carbon nanotubes, wherein the polyethylene microspheres interconnect with each other such that the carbon nanotubes form a conductive network, and wherein the polyethylene layers are provided at predetermined areas of the outer surface of the first electrode, the shutdown polymer additive providing an operating mode, wherein\n a temperature of the battery is below a melting temperature of the polyethylene, and \n the conductive network allows lithium ions to pass through the network for moving between the first electrode and the second electrode, \n the shutdown polymer additive providing a shutdown mode, wherein\n the temperature of the battery is at the melting temperature of the polyethylene, and \n the polyethylene layers can melt to form essentially one insulating film, wherein the insulating film prevents the Li ions from moving between the first electrode and the second electrode.
