Electrode-electrolyte interface optimization is key for enabling next generation lithium battery technology, as it greatly determines the battery lifetime and performance. An outline is given on the interface instabilities occurring with the most used cathode material LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC), and mitigation strategies using coating layers are highlighted. A superior coating approach is shown by Powall using gas-phase chemistry. This not only offers an effective industrial scale solution but enables cost reduction by making production overall more efficient.
