Selective TiO2 Nanolayer Coating by Polydopamine Modification for Highly Stable Ni‐Rich Layered Oxides

Abstract: Ni‐rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for developing high‐energy lithium‐ion batteries. To overcome the major challenge of surface degradation, a TiO2 surface coating based on polydopamine (PDA) modification was investigated in this study. The PDA precoating layer had abundant OH catechol groups, which attracted Ti(OEt)4 molecules in ethanol solvent and contributed towards obtaining a uniform TiO2 nanolayer after calcination. Owing to the uniform coating of the TiO2 nanolayer, TiO2‐coated PDA‐… Show more

“…Moreover, when analyzing the crystal structure of the ONCM 811 particles in the bulk and the near‐surface region (Figure 6b), the resulting FFT patterns confirm that the layered ( R‐ 3 m ) structure is retained. [ 9c,27 ] Differently, for the cycled NCM 811 particles (Figure 6d), the FFT patterns reveal the transition from the layered ( R‐ 3 m ) structure to the rock‐salt ( Fm‐ 3 m ) structure [ 28 ] in the near‐surface region (red frame) and a mix of the two crystalline phases in the bulk (orange frame). It is noteworthy that the transition from the layered to the electrochemically inactive rock‐salt structure [ 9c ] appears complete for several tens of nanometers from the particle surface toward the particle core, providing an explanation for the pronounced capacity fading in the case of NCM 811 .…”

“…Compared with the conventional hydrolysis synthesis, TiO 2 nanocrystallites generated by this method can be uniformly dispersed in the pores of DMSNs without pore blocking due to the homogeneous distribution of Ti elements on DMSNs@PDA-Ti 4+ . Besides, the PDA template may contribute to maintaining the structure stability of porous metal oxides during calcination so that the TiO 2 nanocrystallites grow uniformly into ordered mesoporous nanoshells, instead of independent or agglomerated particles.…”

“…For example, Kim et al . [ 159 ] treated the NCM622 materials with polydopamine before coating the TiO 2 on the particles. The Ti(OEt) 4 molecules would be attracted by the OH catechol group in the polydopamine layer, thus forming a thin but uniform TiO 2 coating layer after the annealing treatment.…”
