Title: Valuation of Surface Coatings in High-Energy Density Lithium-ion Battery Cathode Materials

Abstract

Artificial barriers, usually with either electrochemically active or inactive coating materials, are deployed on cathode material surfaces to mitigate detrimental side reactions by suppressing direct contact of cathode and electrolyte called surface coatings. These surface coatings are commonly known to increase the wettability of liquid electrolyte and reduce the interfacial charge transfer resistance. An important caveat is the selection of appropriate coating material with appropriate thickness for achieving enhanced electrochemical performance. As modern battery materials are increasingly developed with some type of surface coating, a careful and thorough examination of their role in mitigating the cycle life issues of cathode materials is paramount. Here, this comprehensive review article extensively covers the selection criteria of coating materials based on their chemical and physical properties and electrochemical functionalities. Additionally, the article discusses the concept of critical coating thickness and methods of achieving homogeneous coating architectures that deliver desired performance benefits. Furthermore, this comprehensive article summarizes the recent advancements, effectiveness, necessity of cathode surface coatings and identifies the key aspect of structure-property correlation between coating type/thickness and lithium-ion diffusion through coating layers as the linchpin that validates surface coating approaches especially for high capacity nickel-rich cathodes.
