This new article would explore the role of coatings in enhancing battery performance, safety, and lifespan, with a focus on materials like aluminum oxide, lithium phosphate, boron trioxide, and fluorinated compounds. These coatings fall within the scope of this course as they are highly functional within battery applications, and are commonly within the nano-scale in terms of thickness on the surface of the battery material microparticles. This topic is not covered extensively in related Wikipedia articles, and does not have its own page, despite its critical importance in modern battery technologies and its significant relevance to the growing industries of electric vehicles and personal electronics. This article will provide a detailed overview of coating materials, including some history, discussion of the mechanistic purpose of the coatings in mitigating electrolyte decomposition, dendritic growth, and improvement of thermal/mechanical stability, a collection of various commonly used coating materials and their structure-function relationships, a description of synthetic coating techniques such as ALD, CVD, and wet-chemical methods, a section on challenges and recent advancements, and a list of leading companies working in this field.
