Popis: The Li[Ni0.9Co0.05 Al0.05]O2 (NCA) cathode material was continuously coated with polypyrrole (ppy), which is a conductive polymer, to improve its life-cycle characteristics. The thickness of the coating layer was about 4.2 nm. The electrochemical performance was improved by dry-coating ppy on NCA nanofibers, which reduced side reactions with the electrolyte. After 50 cycles at 0.5 C, the ppy-coated NCA had a capacity retention of 83.1%, which was higher than that of the pristine NCA (73.7%). Furthermore, the initial discharge capacity was 218.8 mAhg−1 at 0.1 C, which was 26.1% higher than that of the pristine NCA. From the impedance measurement, the resistance of NCA@ppy was found to be lower than that of pristine NCA.
