Abstract: 

We attempted to use polyethylene (PE) to coat the surface of the cathode material in order to suppress these unnecessary reac-tion, and the results obtained via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) suggest the growth of the SEI resistance and charge trans-fer resistance was suppressed in the samples consisting of 0.1 wt% PE-coated Li[(Ni0.6Co0.1Mn0.3)0.36(Ni0.80Co0.15Al0.05)0.64)]O2 (NCS). The initial discharge capacity of the coated material was of 190.56 mAhg-1 at 0.1 C between 3.0 and 4.3 V, and 94.6 % of this capacity was retained after 30 cycles. A notable of effect of the PE coating, is that the resulting exothermic temperature appears at approximately 258.1 °C, which is higher than that for bare NCS at 249.3 °C.
