Popis: The LiMn 2 O 4 thin film electrode modified by hyperbranched oligomer has been prepared and studied. The hyperbranched oligomer can be self-polymerized for reducing the thermal-runaway hazard by the internal short protection mechanism in lithium ion batteries. The influence of the oligomer coating on cathode has been studied with the binder/carbon-free thin film. In the various C-rate charged-discharged tests, there are no significant differences between the cells with/without the oligomer coating. In this research, the hyperbranched oligomer additive acts as a protection to improve the thermal stability of LiMn 2 O 4 . Therefore, the property of thermal stability and its function in safety may benefit the future development of electric vehicles.
