Application of different types of nanocoatings in lithium-ion batteries

Nowadays, nanocoating has been highly regarded because of its performance dramatically surpassing traditional materials. The nanocoating has various unique characters such as surface effect, small size effect and quantum effect. With the growing of population of world and industrial process, batteries have been increasingly vital in a variety of domains, especially in electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) stand out from the crowd among those batteries because of its high energy density and long cyclic lifespan. This research will discuss the application of nanocoating in LIBs. Nanocoating has the potential to enhance the safety and cyclic lifespan of Li-ion batteries. Furthermore, it could promote electrical conductivity and restrain the volume expansion. It also could improve safety character and energy density. This research summarizes the use of different nanocoatings in LIBs and analyze the performance of these nanocoatings. This research is expected to provide a new perspective for the development of new nanocoatings for application in LIBs.
