Abstract

The microslits of a microporous polyethylene (PE) separator membrane were filled with polydopamine (Pdop) via auto-oxidation and self-polymerization of dopamine to generate a robust, antioxidant, and free standing flexible thin film. Multifunctional groups present on the Pdop act as strong anti-oxidative agents and can induce in situ formation of noble metal nanoparticles on the film surface. The superior antioxidant property of the film was well maintained even after harsh ultrasonic irradiation, tape peeling, and extreme pH treatment.
