AI Article Synopsis

  • Lithium nickel oxide (LNO) is a promising material for next-gen batteries, but its stability needs improvement.
  • Doping with niobium and applying it as a surface coating are effective strategies to enhance LNO's performance.
  • Research shows that Nb-based coatings significantly improve the cycling stability of LNO, making it a better choice for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.

Article Abstract

Lithium nickel oxide (LNO) is a promising cathode candidate in various next-generation battery technologies. To increase its stability, doping and surface coating have become key strategies. Among various elements, niobium stands out for its dual role as an effective dopant and the advantages of its oxide phases as coatings. In this study, we explore Nb-based coating of LNO, utilizing methods that minimize or eliminate solvent use. Additionally, the coated samples were treated at two different temperatures to study their effect on properties and electrochemical performance. Our results demonstrate that the coating process strongly affects the cell cyclability and further highlight the potential of Nb-based protective coatings in enhancing LNO as a cathode active material for application in high-energy-density Li-ion batteries.
