Abstract: 
Ni-rich Li[NixCoyMn1-x-y]O-2 (NCM) cathode materials have attracted great research interest owing to their high energy density and relatively low cost. However, capacity fading because of parasitic side reactions, mainly occurring at the interface with the electrolyte, still hinders widespread application in advanced Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Surface modification via coating is a feasible approach to tackle this issue. Nevertheless, achieving uniform coatings is challenging, especially when using wet chemistry methods. In this work, a protective alumina shell on NCM701515 (70% Ni) was prepared through the reaction of surface-active -OH groups with trimethylaluminum as the precursor. The coated NCM701515 shows significantly improved capacity retention over uncoated (pristine) NCM701515. Part of the reason is the lower impedance buildup during cycling due to the effective suppression of adverse side reactions and secondary particle fracture. Taken together, the solution-based coating strategy described herein offers an easy way to apply surface treatment to stabilize Ni-rich NCM cathode materials in next-generation LIBs.
