“…Some oxides such as ZnO [1,2], MgO [3], Al 2 O 3 [4][5][6][7], TiO 2 [8], SnO 2 [9], ZrO 2 [10][11][12], B 2 O 3 [13] and other materials like LiFePO 4 [14], LiMn 2 O 4 [15], AlPO 4 [16][17][18][19], MgAl 2 O 4 [20] and carbon [21] have been reported to be coated on the surface of LiCoO 2 . Some coating materials exhibit special properties, for example, the coating layer of LiFePO 4 can improve cycle performance of LiCoO 2 at high temperature of 60 ⢠C [15], while the Al 2 O 3 -coating layer can inhibit the erosion on LiCoO 2 caused by electrolyte.…”
