Lithium ion batteries are typically based on one of three positive-electrode materials, namely layered oxides, olivine- and spinel-type materials. The structure of any of them is 'resistant' to electrochemical cycling, and thus, often requires modification/post-treatment to improve a certain property, for example, structural stability, ionic and/or electronic conductivity. This review provides an overview of different examples of coatings and surface modifications used for the positive-electrode materials as well as various characterization techniques often chosen to confirm/detect the introduced changes. It also assesses the electrochemical success of the surface-modified positive-electrode materials, thereby highlighting remaining challenges and pitfalls.

We optimized the specific capacity of freestanding MWCNT-LiFePO4 positive electrode. We demonstrated as high (low) as 90 wt% LiFePO4 active material (10 wt% MWCNTs inactive material). This corresponded to a maximum specific capacity of 153 mA h g−1.

A soft-templated LFP/mesoporous carbon nanosheets (LFP/meso-CNSs) nanocomposite as the cathode of lithium ion batteries displays an excellent high-rate capability and stable cycling property, benefitting from its high electronic conductivity, open mesoporosity, and the nano-size of its active material.

Silicon-based anode materials have been widely discussed by researchers because of its high theoretical capacity, abundant resources and low working voltage platform,which has been considered to be the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However,there are some problems existing in the silicon-based anode materials greatly limit its wide application: during the process of charge/discharge, the materials are prone to about 300% volume expansion, which will resultin huge stress-strain and crushing or collapse on the anods; in the process of lithium removal, there is some reaction between active material and current collector, which creat an increase in the thickness of the solid phase electrolytic layer(SEI film); during charging and discharging, with the increase of cycle times, cracks will appear on the surface of silicon-based anode materials, which will cause the batteries life to decline. In order to solve these problems, firstly, we summarize the design of porous structure of nanometer sized silicon-based materials and focus on the construction of three-dimensional structural silicon-based materials, which using natural biomass, nanoporous carbon and metal organic framework as structural template. The three-dimensional structure not only increases the channel of lithium-ion intercalation and the rate of ion intercalation, but also makes the structure more stable than one-dimensional or two-dimensional. Secondly, the Si/C composite, SiOx composite and alloying treatment can improve the volume expansion effection, increase the rate of lithium-ion deblocking and optimize the electrochemical performance of the material. The composite materials are usually coated with elastic conductive materials on the surface to reduce the stress, increase the conductivity and improve the electrochemical performance. Finally, the future research direction of silicon-based anode materials is prospected.

We investigated the electrochemical properties of carbon-coated niobium dioxide (NbO2) as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Carbon-coated NbO2 powders were synthesized by ball-milling using carbon nanotubes as the carbon source. The carbon-coated NbO2 samples were of smaller particle size compared to the pristine NbO2 samples. The carbon layers were coated non-uniformly on the NbO2 surface. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that the inter-layer distances increased after carbon coating by ball-milling. This lead to decreased charge-transfer resistance, confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, allowing electrons and lithium-ions to quickly transfer between the active material and electrolyte. Electrochemical performance, including capacity and initial coulombic efficiency, was therefore improved by carbon coating by ball-milling.
