“…It is a daunting challenge for people to conquer the above mentioned problems of the Li-rich layered oxides to keep pace with the rapidly increasing requirement for satisfying batteries. Recently, people have made great efforts including cation and anion doping [10,12,13], surface modification [9,11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], innovation of synthesis method [22,23], and fabrication of nano-sized particles [6,24,25], to achieve the goal of commercialization of the Li-rich layered cathode materials. In particular, the surface modification by coating some materials such as metal oxides [15][16][17], phosphates [18][19][20], fluorides [9,11,21] has been regarded as one of the most effective measures to overcome drawbacks of Li-rich layered oxides.…”
