New insights into a dry-coating-processed surface engineering strategy are revealed. Coating amount dominates the structural evolution of the surface coating layer. The hybrid coating layer is tuned to reach an optimal cycling and safety performance. Ambient storage stability and slurry preparation for practical use are also improved.
Surface coatings have proved to be effective to suppress these unwanted surface reactions. Thus, improvement in the performance of lithium-ion batteries in terms of capacity retention, long term cycling, thermal stability, and high-temperature stability can be achieved using surface coatings.
Surface coating, a prominent strategy in this domain, involves applying a stable layer on the electrode surface to prevent continuous electrolyte decomposition, thus enhancing ICE and cycle life. The choice of both coating methods and materials significantly impacts the electrochemical performance, marking this as a critical area of research.
The primary role of such coatings is to act as a protective passivation film which prevents the direct contact of the cathode material and the electrolyte, thus mitigating the detrimental side reactions that can degrade the battery performance.
Not constrained only to Ni-rich cathode system, the wisdom can literally be generalized to a wider context in battery industry, where surface coating tunability can be achieved by scrutinizing the chemical evolution and heuristic structural evolution that enabling further improvement of material performances.
Coatings typically based on oxides, phosphates, polymers, ionically conductive materials and in specific cases certain cathode materials are employed to improve the electrochemical performance of battery cathode materials.
