Popis: | Balancing interfacial stability and Li+ transfer kinetics through surface engineering is a key challenge in developing high-performance battery materials. Although conformal coating enabled by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has shown great promise in controlling impedance increase upon cycling by minimizing side reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interface, the coating layer itself usually exhibits poor Li+ conductivity and impedes surface charge transfer. In this work, we have shown that by carefully controlling postannealing temperature of an ultrathin ZrO2 film prepared by ALD, Zr4+ surface doping could be achieved for Ni-rich layered oxides to accelerate the charge transfer yet provide sufficient protection. Using single-crystal LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 as a model material, we have shown that surface Zr4+ doping combined with ZrO2 coating can enhance both the cycle performance and rate capability during high-voltage operation. Surface doping via controllable postannealing of ALD surface coating layer reveals an attractive path toward developing stable and Li+-conductive interfaces for single-crystal battery materials. |
