“…The SbO 6 octahedra of AZO are distorted with three different Sb-O bonds, enabling AZO to be electrically active. [13][14][15] Thus, it is envisaged that the electroconductive AZO nanoparticle coatings, as compared to electrically-inert metal oxide coatings, contribute to improving electronic conduction of cathode materials, in addition to acting as a protective layer that suppresses undesired interfacial side reactions between cathode materials and liquid electrolytes.…”
