Abstract

The desire to obtain higher energy densities in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to meet the growing demands of emerging technologies is faced with challenges related to poor capacity retention during cycling caused by structural and interfacial instability of the battery materials. Since the electrode-electrolyte interface plays a decisive role in achieving remarkable electrochemical performance, it must be suitably engineered to address the aforementioned issues. The development of coatings, particularly on the surface of cathode materials, has been proven to be effective in resolving interfacial issues in LIBs. The use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) over other surface coating techniques is advantageous in terms of coating uniformity, conformity, and thickness control. This review article provides a summary of the impact of various ALD-engineered surface coatings to the cycling performance of different intercalation cathode materials in LIBs. Since ALD allows coating development on complex substrates, this article provides a comprehensive discussion of coatings formed directly on a powder active material and composite electrode. Additionally, a perspective regarding the fundamental deposition parameters and electrochemical testing data to be reported in future research is provided.
