Nanostructured coating materials, methods of their production, and methods of use in a variety of applications are described. The nanostructured materials described herein include one or more 2.sup.+ and/or 3.sup.+ metal ion(s), optionally in a ternary phase, on a substrate.

A UV curable dielectric coating is described. The curable coating can include one of more acrylate monomers, a urethane prepolymer, a crosslinker, at least one adhesion promoter, a photoinitiator, and optionally one or more fillers and/or additives. The coating can be used to insulate battery cells and battery packs, such as those used in electric vehicles. The coatings can be easily applied and quickly cured. The cured coatings can have high adhesion strength, even after exposure to wet conditions.

The present invention pertains to a method for producing a graphene-coated steel sheet, the method comprising the steps of: modifying the surface of the steel sheet so that the surface is negatively charged; forming a positively-charged first graphene oxide layer on the surface-modified steel sheet; forming a negatively-charged second graphene oxide layer on the first graphene oxide layer; and heat-treating the steel sheet on which the first and second graphene oxide layers are formed. The present invention provides a graphene coating method which can be easily applied to large-area coating through a simple process without a special dispersant or binder, and has the effect of allowing the excellent physical properties of graphene to be more efficiently exhibited.
