Abstract
Nickel (Ni)-rich cathodes are among the most promising cathode materials of lithium batteries, ascribed to their high-power density, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, having extensive applications from portable electronics to electric vehicles and national grids. They can boost the wide implementation of renewable energies and thereby contribute to carbon neutrality and achieving sustainable prosperity in the modern society. Nevertheless, these cathodes suffer from significant technical challenges, leading to poor cycling performance and safety risks. The underlying mechanisms are residual lithium compounds, uncontrolled lithium/nickel cation mixing, severe interface reactions, irreversible phase transition, anisotropic internal stress, and microcracking. Notably, they have become more serious with increasing Ni content and have been impeding the widespread commercial applications of Ni-rich cathodes. Various strategies have been developed to tackle these issues, such as elemental doping, adding electrolyte additives, and surface coating. Surface coating has been a facile and effective route and has been investigated widely among them. Of numerous surface coating materials, have recently emerged as highly attractive options due to their high lithium-ion conductivity. In this review, a thorough and comprehensive review of lithium-ion conductive coatings (LCCs) are made, aimed at probing their underlying mechanisms for improved cell performance and stimulating new research efforts.

Abstract
Residual Li and oxygen vacancies in Ni-rich cathode materials have a great influence on electrochemical performance, yet their role is still poorly understood. Herein, by simply adjusting the oxygen flow during the high-temperature sintering process, some Li2O can be carried into the exhaust gas and the contents of residual Li and oxygen vacancies in LiNi0.825Co0.115Mn0.06O2 cathodes can be accurately controlled. Residual Li reduces the surficial Li+ diffusion coefficient, thereby limiting the rate property of the cathode. Oxygen vacancies affect the oxygen release energy in the crystal, and the lowest oxygen release energy is found at an oxygen vacancy concentration of 8.35%, resulting in an unstable structure and thereby poor cycle performance. The Ni-rich cathode with low residual Li and oxygen vacancy contents exhibits superior capacity retention (89.55 and 77.66%) at 2C after 300 cycles between 2.7-4.3 and 2.7-4.5 V. These findings clarify the role of residual Li and oxygen vacancies in Ni-rich cathode materials and provide a simple way to obtain high-performance Ni-rich cathodes for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries.
