Description
Summary:Lithium‐ion batteries are regarded as promising energy storage devices for next‐generation electric and hybrid electric vehicles. In order to meet the demands of electric vehicles, considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of advanced electrode materials for lithium‐ion batteries with high energy and power densities. Although significant progress has been recently made in the development of novel electrode materials, some critical issues comprising low electronic conductivity, low ionic diffusion efficiency, and large structural variation have to be addressed before the practical application of these materials. Surface and interface engineering is essential to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials for lithium‐ion batteries. This article reviews the recent progress in surface and interface engineering of electrode materials including the increase in contact interface by decreasing the particle size or introducing porous or hierarchical structures and surface modification or functionalization by metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, carbon materials, polymers, and other ionic and electronic conductive species. Surface and interface engineering of electrodes is essential for the fabrication of high‐performance lithium‐ion batteries. A brief summary of the recent progress in surface and interface engineering of electrode materials is provided, and the effect of interface engineering on the electrochemical performance of different electrode materials is presented.
